Nirvana – Hormoaning (Exclusive Australian '92 Tour EP)

If you own the smells like teen spirit single and the incesticide compilation and you're not a Nirvana completionist, skip this one. There are no exclusive tracks on here at all.

*** COUNTERFEIT WARNING ***
A counterfeit copy has surfaced early 2023. Further info here:

To be perfectly honest, this doesn't sound all that bad. It's obviously a bootleg but it's a nice bootleg at that. I bought it many years ago before I knew how to spot a bootleg but I'm still glad I have this.

I got this one, anyone interested send me a message

I am certain the Nirvana "Hormoaning" CD I have is a high quality fake. Be sure what you are buying or selling, especially for this particular CD.

Nice sounding lil EP. These songs sound like your bathing in an analog bubblebath. Nice rich sound with a solid low end. The music sounds full and ever-encompassing. Happy to have D7 on vinyl. Drums in that song kick ass. Hyper realistic lo fi grunge to the dome. Kick ass x 2.

All the counterfeits I've seen have the showerhead airbrushed out on the cover. So if you ever find one that you think, maybe this one is some rare unknown variant, be sure you can see the showerhead. Having a showerhead doesn't guarantee it is legit, but not having a showerhead guarantees it is fake.

Awesome addition to Nirvana collection, doesn’t really sound live at all, but quality is pretty good. Great pressing and good song selection.

Putting this out there in case anyone knows who has this copy; Back in the day my old man and I had a good chat with Frank at Waterfront in the old store? Where was it, Clarence St or Pitt St. Anyway he told us about the day he took Kurt and Courntey out on Sydney Harbour on his boat and general stuff like that. Then he said to wait while he went and got something. Came back with a mint copy of Hormoaning COVERED in graffiti from the guys. Dave had written a long letter to his mum, "Hi mom, havign a great time " etc. Kurt had coloured his thumb in and put the print on the sleeve and signed it and I forget what Krist wrote, but the entire 12" sleeve was covered in black sharpy signatures notes and drawings. was SO cool. Turned it down as he said it was $1000. KICKING myself. So someone in this world has that framed somewhere. Tracked Frank down many years later on email and he simply said "It's long gone!" :)

It appears as if this is the copy of Hormoaning that I have, as it is the closest match that I can find. However, I bought it used so it doesn’t have the “end sleeve” with the Japanese writing that is seen in the photos. It also matches the Hormoaning information for a “blue” copy as posted at LiveNirvana.com, although it looks purple-ish to me. Finally, I have a different matrix number that I haven’t seen anywhere else. The number listed is: MVCG-17002-1- 1M 1: V but mine is MVCG-17002-1- 1M V (missing the last “1” before the “V”). Anyone else have a similar find, or know anything about this?
