Nirvana's Sliver is the most expensive 45 I have ever brought!(I'm really poor so most people would find the price i paid not much at all). Originally released in 1990 by sub pop and then re released by Geffen in '92 to support 'Incesticide'. The b side to Sliver is Dive and the actual recording of Sliver features Dan Peters from Mudhoney on drums. The song peaked at 90 in the UK charts and to be honest isn't my favourite nirvana song, So why is it the most expensive 45 I've ever brought? This single is incredibly popular for some reason, I'm pretty sure most nirvana fans own this single in some form. In fact if you go on the Sub Pop website you can still purchase a brand new 4Th! press of the single. There are 14 different variations of this vinyl on 7", there is also the CD single and the blue 12" so its hardly worth going into detail. However, the vinyl below is a second press on pink vinyl, the second press by Erika records features nine different colors including two different pinks, of course I own the cheaper pink version. These singles are easy enough to pick up on eBay as there are so many different versions.
Expect To Pay
For the version below: $45 - 60
There is a massive price range on this single for example:
4th press on black vinyl: $5
Ultra rare white: $550 - 650
Mega ultra rare red: Over $1000 (Only One has ever been seen!)
