Nirvana MTV Unplugged 2009 ORG Vinyl by Bernie Grundman

Yeah, I don't know how much I believe the effects different color has on the quality of the vinyl. I would expect the differences to be negligible at best.

 

Stupid question but, how do we know which color vinyl we're getting if we order it online? I found it at Barnes and Noble's website but it doesn't say the color it is.

Amazing as it is I do not own a copy of Nevermind. Which is the best vinyl to hunt down?

The colored vinyl was limited. I'm guessing they're all sold out and current stock will be plain ol' black.

 

Definitely the ORG. Avoid earlier issues and the more recent 20th anniversary reissue.

The current stock is most definitely just a black LP, but try to make sure you're getting the ORG before placing an order.

 

I got my blue edition Nevermind directly from ORG a few weeks ago. They still have the color vinyl in stock, apparently. You can get all four black for $90 or all four color for $100.

Identifiers/UPC for it? The Barnes and Noble listings I posted for example, aren't that descriptive except for release date and UPC. Release date says 2009.

 

Does anyone have any issues with Kurts vocals kind of breaking up (for lack of a better term) over the soundstage? Or does he stay clearly imaged in the same spot throughout the album? I'm trying to figure out if there is something strange going on with my setup or not.

Thanks

 

Here's why I believe this. I always noted how much less static the translucent vinyl generates. I recently bought the 4LP Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and cleaned all of the LPs. I played side 1 of LP1 and it was terribly noisy, with lots of pops and ticks throughout. The vinyl appeared to be perfect in every other respect: flat and centered. I didn't even play side 2, I was so disgusted, and I decided I was going to return it without even listening to LPs 2-4. The next day, for some reason, I thought I'd play it again and voila, the vinyl was perfect. Not a single pop, tick or scratch (except for the first two revolutions of the first track). Now, I'm not saying that colored vinyl is superior in all respects, but the black vinyl can absolutely have easily discernible negative attributes, in certain situations. And I think that is why the translucent vinyl seems to have less "self-noise" or record noise: there is less static generated when the record is played.

Note that I typed "seems to have", because this is all theory, but it sounds plausible. YMMV.

 

Can someone confirm that the latest Nirvana MTV Unplugged vinyl that is available 2013 Interscope is the same mastering as the ORG version that is OOP now? many thanks in advance...

 

Did you ever find out? I found this German 2013 pressing but it did not mention Interscope, but it is a BG repress:

After watching the recent HBO doc on Kurt, I have decided that I need this album back in my life after years of avoiding Nirvana due to overplay. Anyone know of any sites that are still selling this ORG pressing of Unplugged?

 

Looks like it's still available on the ORG site: http://orgmusic.merchnow.com/products/160718/unplugged-in-new-york-black-lp

 

Just saw that! Thanks for posting. Have you or anyone ordered from them directly before? Good or bad experience?

 

Yeah, that doc made me spin all three of my Nirvana records, in order, in a single afternoon.

All three ORGs sound very nice... Nevermind and IU are a bit on the trebly side, but Unplugged sounds perfect. It's my fave of the three. I was lucky to snag all the colored presses before they went OOP too!

 

I do not have experience ordering directly from them before, but from reading the forum I recall many members ordering directly from them in the past (I think at one point there was even a forum-specific coupon code). I wouldn't think there would be any issues, ORG is a pretty reputable label.

 

Have both like the 320!

 

I'm not sure this is cheaper once you factor in UK shipping, but if you're buying a few things from What Records this is a good price.

I ordered it from them a few months back. No issues at all. Nicely packaged and quick turnaround.

 

I've ordered from them directly a few times, no issues at all.

 

I have a red vinyl Nevermind, but not sure if it's legit. No mention of 320 in the dead wax.

 

Probably a boot. The blue vinyl was the only official ORG colored press.

 

Thanks Rich! Good to know.

 

Hello! Anyone heard the Back to Black release??

 

I'm curious about that Back to Black as well, I see that popping up on eBay and discogs.
