Информация о каждом трансфере в спойлерах
Извините, я знаю что оформлено не по правилам, но чтобы сделать снимки спектров и т.д. этих всех записей, понадобилось бы больше времени чем мне хотелось бы тратить на это. Я почти всё собираюсь удалить с компа, поскольку больше не интересует, но подумал что может другим это может пригодится. На мой взгляд, лучше выложить это всё без формальностей чем не поделится. А если кто-нибудь из скачавших захочет оформить эту раздачу по правилам, можете написать весь код (с ссылками на скришоты), и я её обновлю.
Если отдельные трэки со сборников на этом трэкере запрещены в любом случае, могу их удалить с раздачи.
Очень долго на раздаче не буду, удалю со своего компа.

- Brazilian promotional vinyl supposedly limited to only 200 copies.

- Also the bass is not that hard / overdriven anymore making the tracks sound smoother.
- This time I also edited out non-audiable inconsistencies in the spectral view.
- Don't skip this one, it's my most pristine transfer upto now, took me over 40 hours of work !

- The other transfer was from a promo vinyl which only featured "Heart-Shaped Box" and "Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip".

SIDE NOTES
-----------------
- There are only 3 vinyl pressings of the In Bloom single, two 7" black vinyls and a 12" picturedisc of inferior audio quality.
- The GES19087 (NL) black vinyl pressing features In Bloom and Sliver (live).
- The GFS 34 (UK) black vinyl pressing features In Bloom and Polly (live).
- The In Bloom transfer from the NL pressing sounds a lot better than the one I've did from the UK pressing so I've decided to blend the vinyls together.

12. Where Did You Sleep Last Night ..... 12" [Mark Lanegan - The Winding Sheet] ................................ # GR 0095
NOTES:
This is a COMPLETE compilation of all the Nirvana tracks featured on retail VVAA records !
Except for Mexican Seafood, Beeswax and Negative Creep all tracks are unique and cannot be found elsewhere !!!
Mexican Seafood and Beeswax can be found on the Incesticide album, but those featured here are superior sounding IMO.
Negative Creep can be found on the Bleach album and although fading out it sounds pretty good as well.
I've transferred every known pressing and of course only included the superior sounding pressings/versions.
I've decided these to be inferior: Here She Comes Now # ILLUSION 016, Spank Thru # SP25 (dropout mastered onto the vinyl),
Do You love Me # CZ024, Mexican Seafood # CZ009, Beeswax # KRS-201 (re-issues), the other tracks don't exist on other pressings
The last track "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die" is the only track done with my old equipment, unfortunately sold the picture disc already ...
A small click appears in the very first seconds of Spank Thru and Where Did You Sleep Last Night but it was mastered that way onto CD as well.
The extra tracks are 'Nirvana' side projects where Cobain's vocals can clearly be heard. ENJOY !

SIDE NOTES
-----------------
- Included 300 dpi bitmap scans. The scans took me 3 hours ! This time I putted them in a rar-file reducing the size by 2/3.
- One of the most collectable Nirvana records around. Only 1000 copies total were pressed but in many different colours.
- I transferred 5 different copies and chose the best sounding output to keep, being the clear yellow.
- Here She Comes Now sounds warmer and more pleasant than the currently listed best sounding source Heaven and Hell Vol 1 compilation.
