Released: 11/88

Releases: This single launched the 'Sub Pop Singles Club'. Limited to 1000 handnumbered (in red ink) copies, in a fold-over sleave, on black vinyl.

Additional Information: On this release only 'Love Buzz' features a 10-second sound collage intro made by Kurt from various childrens records spliced together and a similar collage dubbed into the instrumental break. This comes from a much longer collage made by Kurt, which is 34-minutes long, known as 'The Montage of Heck', which is available in trading circles. 'Love Buzz' was originally performed by 'Shocking Blue'. The version of 'Love Buzz' on this single is a different mix to those on all 'Bleach' and 'Blew EP' releases, being remixed for other releases and lacking the aforementioned collages. It was remixed to increase it collectibility and lacked the collages because Kurt forgot to bring the home-made tape with it on to the remixing session! Alice Wheeler took the photo on the front of the album in Tacoma's 'Never Never Land' (a park) close to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Kurt's name is given as 'Kurdt Kobain' on the credits and on the 'Love Buzz' side is etched 'Why don't you trade those guitars for shovels?'

Sliver/Dive (Sub Pop Records)

Song:	Date Recorded:	Studio/Venue:
Sliver	July 11, 1990	Reciprocal Studios, Seattle, WA
Dive	April, 1990	Smart Studios, Wisconsin, WI
About A Girl (live)	February 09, 1990	Pine Street Theatre, Portland, OR
Spank Thru (live)	February 09, 1990	Pine Street Theatre, Portland OR

Released: 09/??/90 (US), 01/??/91 (UK)

Releases: First 3,000 7" American releases were on blue vinyl in fold-over sleaves and was subsequently reissued in many colours in solid sleeves, being the only Nirvana single on Sub Pop still in print. British releases on Tupelo were originally on 7" vinyl (with the first 2,000 on green vinyl) in a gatefold sleeve. The 12" vinyl features 'About A Girl', live from 02/09/90. The CD-version had included 'About A Girl' and also 'Spank Thru', again from 02/09/90.

Additional Information: 'Spank Thru' on the CD versions is incorrectly spelt 'Spank Through'. The A-side of the 7", after 'Sliver', also features a 45-second phone conversation outro, between a very hung-over Krist Noveselic and Jonathon Poneman, which Krist accidently recorded on his answerphone. This was excluded when this version of 'Sliver' appeared on 'Incesticide', rather like the intro to 'Love Buzz' was culled from vinyl versions when it made its transition to CD. A incomplete soundboard version of the 02/09/90 show featured on this release is available in trading circles. A complete session tape of all the finalised versions of songs from the April 1990 studio appearance is also circulating.

Additional Information: According to CAYA (p.163) Cobain did not want this single to be released, feeling that this version of 'Molly Lips' was rather "ragged". However, it was released because it was part of the buyout deal from 'Sub Pop Records'. 'Later' is etched into the run-out grove. Charles Peterson took the cover shot. An incomplete soundboard version of this show is available in trading circles.
