The first single in the Sub Pop Singles club, the 'Love Buzz / Big Cheese' single was the first in what’s become a long line of collectible Nirvana recordings, with only 1,200 copies of the single originally pressed. Numbered editions (1-1,000) have a number handwritten in red ink on the back sleeve; the 200 unnumbered editions have a red slash through the box.
During the early 1990s, the consignor of this single worked as security for Kurt Cobain and then later as a night watchman at his Seattle home at 171 Lake Washington Boulevard East. This single was one of several items gifted to him during his time of employment.
