  If any of these items exist, they are undoubtedly extremely rare and valuable.

  There are three other promos/test pressings besides the one known CD (NIRPRO).  I list these as "rumored" because they may no longer exist and the info may not be entirely correct.  If anyone can provide additional details, I'm eager to hear them.

The story goes like this: After Cobain died, Geffen recalled all unsold CD singles.  They also supposedly destroyed all promos/test pressings.  Items that have been written about include:

  • 7" vinyl made by Geffen Germany
    It's either a promo or test pressing and all three songs from the single (Pennyroyal Tea / I Hate Myself And Want To Die / Where Did You Sleep Last Night) are included.

    7" vinyl made by Geffen U.K.
    This is also either a promo or test pressing with two songs from the single (Pennyroyal Tea / Where Did You Sleep Last Night).  While there were no apparent plans for Geffen U.K. to produce a single, it is conceivable they would manufacture some promos.

    This rumored promo, which I've been told was mentioned in Goldmine, had all three songs from the single.
