Reviews
My copy is Variant 3 and it sounds so alive and vivid it's like Kurt & Co. are 'right-there' ya dig? Beautiful stereo-mix of a very nice recording that featues incredible clarity & instrument separation, with terrific bass as well. The heavyweight vinyl is virtually silent after a good wet-cleaning & sits on the turntable platter as flat as a pancake.
Clearly this is a GZ Vinyl repressing of the 2001 European pressed Universal Vinyl Series: https://www.discogs.com/release/1644963-Nirvana-MTV-Unplugged-In-New-York
https://web.archive.org/web/20120620101825/http://www.ars-music.de/online-magazin/sonstiges/mitten-ins-schwarze/- First for tracks EXPLODE explode in perfectly then a Hun on left channel and it’s good night but not all bad. I think as many have said there are some swings and misses on pressings so buy at a low price and hope for the best otherwise chase some better ones which you will pay for but that’s what it’s all about. Apart from pennyroyal tea and that hum. It’s good. A but quiet but it’s solid listen though.
This pressing is terrible. The vinyl sounds warped on b-side, is uncentered, had uncut plastic coming off the borders, and the mixing isn't that good either. Side A sounds alright, but it's just not worth it.- Bad pressing. Can’t get side to play without a bunch of pops and clicks even after multiple cleaning attempts
- Like many others, I noticed a light crackle and pop at first, but it wasn’t terrible. However, after only a couple of spins almost half of the songs skip, without any visible scratches that I can see. Definitely a pressing to avoid.
- I guess I got really lucky. My pressing sounds great. Cleaned it when I got it, and there’s no pops whatsoever. The volume might be a little low, but there is about 27/28 minutes a side, so that’s to be expected.
Cleaned this record 10 times now because of all the crackle and pops, went to look at the reviews and see it's not just me that thinks this is crap. One more Nirvana unpluged for sale!!- Edited 5 years agoDo not, I repeat, do not buy this pressing if you haven't already. Many, but not all, of the the Back to Black reissues from around 2008 are terrible, and are usually defined by the red stickers. The newest Back to Black reissues are the black sticker ones.
https://www.discogs.com/Nirvana-MTV-Unplugged-In-New-York/release/10898105
This is the 2016 Back to Black reissue, and it sounds great. I suspect that anyone who has a good review on the 2008 repress page probably has the 2016 repress instead (an easy mistake to make, seeing as both have the same catalog numbers). 
Worst sound than bootlegs. Never buy Nirvana from Back to Black.
why do people make a digital vinyl ?? if i would care about digital i would get the cd ..
