  The artwork on the front of the sleeve is just like the official releases, except the marbled effect is missing.  One owner also describes it as having "colours which are less contrasted."  The back is entirely different, though, featuring a photo taken from the official In Utero liner.  As is the case with one Russian Nevermind LP, the tracks are listed out of order on the sleeve and vinyl labels.  Additionally, "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle" is not listed anywhere.

The catalog number, AA-0004, can only be found in the matrix on each side of the vinyl.  The name of the record label that produced this item is not listed at all.  The spine of the sleeve, which is made with "very thin and supple paper," only has "NIRVANA   IN UTERO" printed.

Labels on the black vinyl are yellow with what appears to be brown text.  Both are rather plain, lacking logos and the usual publishing and copyright legalities.  Apparently, some Russian is included with "CTEPEO" and "CTOPOHA" meaning, respectively, stereo and side.

Unless someone comes forward with contradictory information, most collectors believe the Russian items are not officially licensed releases.  They may be rare, though, so in one sense the items can be seen as sought after collectibles.  Based on the scans and info provided for this item, I'd agree this is not official.  This was most likely made by the same people responsible for its Nevermind LP counterpart, ART-1004.
