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.

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!
