Nirvana

   

All Apologies

There were significantly fewer vinyl versions of this one and none in the U.S. There was the standard UK 7" and corresponding jukebox version, both with painted, molded labels. The jukebox one has a large 45 hole cut in it. The standard UK single is quite common and prices have been consistent for a while.

There were black vinyl 12"s in the UK and the Netherlands. The UK one came with two art prints. The Dutch 12" seems to be pretty scarce. Prices are now catching up with that idea.

And then...we have the Dutch 7". This record was absolutely brutal to find for many years. It was that rare elusive major label piece that drove collectors crazy. They used to talk about this one in the same breath as some of the scarcer Nirvana/Melvins split variants. The Dutch All Apologies has become more manageable since the advent of Discogs, but it remains tough and fairly expensive.
