Live Nirvana Bootography Rating: A

Live Nirvana Bootography Review:
Two vinyl colors are available: black and white (both 45 rpm). The songs are Nevermind demos from 1990. The A-side label states "Promotional Copy. Not For Sale."

I'm not sure which sleeve the white vinyl comes in, but the black vinyl may come in either of two sleeves:

· A folded, black-on-white sleeve with the title on the back.
· A black-on-red sleeve without the title on the front or back. In fact, the back is completely blank. The front of the sleeve has the same photo of Novoselic, Channing and Cobain that version #1 has on the back of its sleeve. Instead of tracks being listed on both sides of the sleeve like version #1, all are listed at the bottom of the front.

I've seen this listed as The Rocker on more than one occasion. It's probably just a way to draw attention to the auctions.

This is the only place to get this version of Lithium, every other boot, vinyl or CD, is sourced from this release.
This is a very early, very important bootleg release that appeared in June 1991, Nirvana even referred to it from the stage during the 8/15/91 & 8/30/92 shows.
The boot is sourced from an ANA(1) or ANA(2) tape.

Anders Leirvik sent the following information:
My matrix is:
Side A:/|/|/| /|/|/|/|/| E
Side B:/|/|/| /|/|/|/|/| E
the /|/ means scratched out. Seems there are two different pressings?



Mislabels:
