Nirvana/various - Kiss: Hard To Believe (OZ Waterfront 1990 2LP Red Vinyl RARE)
Item History & Price
Expanded Australian Edition of this classic alt/grunge/indie tribute toKiss (which was released as a single disc with less songs by C/Z Records in theUSA).
Notable due to Nirvana's inclusion, but other independent bands andthose obscure from the mainstream feature, both from the US and elsewhere. Theconcept started out as an Austra...lian only tribute project organized byWaterfront Records, who distributed records for many of the Australian Punkbands who'd record for the album. Waterfront distributed US indie label C/Z's (andSub Pop’s) band's releases in OZ, and vice-versa, so C/Z licensed the conceptand added US acts to make the album a more international project.
Interestingly, Nirvana's recording is their only studiorecording with Jason Everman, as second guitarist, and Chad Channing on drums.It was recorded at Evergreen State College in the spring of 1989.
Rare RED VINYL Waterfront Australian Issue, which I’m led tobelieve (courtesy of former Waterfront staff) was that no more than 100-150 were pressed as acoloured vinyl set, bearing in mind that Nirvana were a year away from majorsuccess so therefore sales would be moderate in this country. Reissued thefollowing year as a standard black vinyl set. The coloured vinyl was pressed by Festival Records, Sydney (as it was the only plant which pressed coloured vinyl.)
