Here She Comes Now - Melvins split 7"




















This is a Nirvana item that is really worth talking about and exploring. This is the split 7" between Nirvana and the Melvins. It was released in 1991 on a small label called Communion. The record was limited to 1000 copies on 20 sorted colors. This really makes for a collectors dream.


Both bands cover the Velvet Underground. Nirvana picks up an amazing version of "Here She Comes Now" and the Melvins create a doom-y / spastic version of "Venus in Furs". This is by far my favorite 7" by Nirvana.

I own two copies that are in the same color spectrum. A light purple and a dark purple. I picked both up off ebay for around $100 each. I have seen some copies go for as much as $250. Here is a great display of all the colors released below. Thanks to http://www.nirvana-records.be/ for the image.


Hopefully this record will continue to increase in value because most collectors try to acquire all the colors. So some people might own up to 20 or more copies. This takes a lot of records off the market.

I have a feeling this record along with a few numbered vinyls from Nirvana will be worth more year after year. I would love to hear from other collectors on how long they have had their copy and how much they paid for them. This is a real gem.


Thanks and enjoy!
Nick
