I Fell Asleep And Watched TV

Over the years of doing this blog, I've probably not done an awful lot of posting about Nirvana. Most likely cause of that is that I don't have an awful lot, so when this arrived, before it even went on the turntable I quickly grabbed a few photos of it and this is where we're up to today.


This is the 1st UK 12'' press on the Tupelo Recording Company. There was also a Second UK Press of Blue vinyl. There are no pressing numbers available, and to my knowledge there is no US 12'' press on Sub Pop. 


Back Cover with this great live photo with a Tupelo label on the centre label. The Live version of About A Girl on the B-Side is definitely worth digging out too. It's a lot faster than the studio version and by the second verse all this distortion kicks in. 


Kurt comes under as Kurdt here and Krist comes under as Chris. Jane Higgins has done a lot of design work for Nirvana and other Sub Pop bands like Mudhoney, Dwarves and some others. 


Finally, here is the text along the record. It doesn't sit on the spine, but rather the bottom of the sleeve. The sleeve also opens from the top as opposed to the side. There is no insert or dust sleeve with the record.
