"I don't have a thrilling story, but I think it's ok. For years, I would always joke
with my brother about owning a copy of Love Buzz. The only chance we had
to see it was to check ebay. Every couple of months I would show him an
auction. He would just stare at the screen in disbelief. (I'd get it for
him but it always sold in the $700-$900 range. A bit too high for me.)
Anyway, this past February I saw it being offered on ebay again. I put
in a bid just as a joke, but suprisingly it held for a while. I told my
father, and he said 'I don't care what you have to do, just get that
record!' I put in a another bid, and sure enough I won the auction. It
took about a month to get, (we were a bit slow with payment). But after
an elaborate schedule of Fedex pickups drop offs, and deliveries. We
finally had it. My brother drove us nuts asking about it ('did it come
yet?' tommorow? It was coming all the way from Seattle!) He left for his
classess in the morning when he spotted it in our mailbox. Finally! He
was really moved when he saw it. It is such a significant piece to a
Nirvana fan. I like the group, but my brother is so much more
dedicated. Of course he played it. Suprisingly, it sounded unbelievably
crisp and clear. 100% mint! What's truly special about this record, is
that it will be in our family forever. We finally own an heirloom!" |
