It has recently come to my attention that the "Nevermind" CD may be
worth more than what you paid for it. Not just any CD
though.. particularly, the CD with NO bonus track. There were only
approx. 20,000 copies released! At that point, hundreds of thousands of
the CDs with the bonus track were released. So the CDs without the
bonus track are few (compared to the number of people in the world), so
consider it a definite collector's item.

Ahh...actually, it isn't. For some reason or another, DGC removed the
bonus track again within the last year or so. Dunno why.

Not really...would you rather have a cd that has less songs on it? I can't say
that I would...I have a friend that has a copy of that...and is pissed cause he is missing a track...
I would be too...I can't see it ever being worth more that would just be stupid!

Probably so the originals wouldn't be worth any money. I have both of
them, I stole the one w/ Endless Nameless at the end from this kid for
that one song. Everyone asks me, "Why do you have two Neverminds?"

Well think again, why do stamp collecters and phone card collecter die for
examples with mistakes? Cos they are rare, same with Nirvana CD. If
someone was mad enough about Nirvana and collected all the stuff they
could lay their hands, don't you think they may be more likely to shell
out a CD that they knew was rare?

As long as you just care about the music, you are right. But you don't
even care about the aspect of collectability that Sam is trying to tell
you.

But I suspect that 20 000 copies is a little bit too much to make a real
collectors item. Maybe it is worth a few dollars more.

just so all you know, the first 50,000 didn't have the songs, then about
the next whole lot did, and then about a year and a half ago they
stopped putting it on again, so IF YOU DON"T HAVE THE SONG YOURS
PROBABLY ISN"T VALUABLE!!!!!!! okay. bye. if you buy one ta astore now,
i beleive there's like a 98% chance that your will not have the secret
song (ENDLESS NAMELESS) on it.

great song

great CD

great band

great drummer

what esle can i say?

I dont have a bonus track and I heard it is the other way around. I
heard that the one with endless nameless aka bonus track is the rare
one.

In Australia you can purchase nothing but the non-bonus-track edition,
there are heaps more than 20,000 down under..... I especially mail
ordered one with the bonus track, instead of the standard aussie
one....

There are between 50,000 and 75,000 copies of Nevermind without the bonus
track. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd feel kind of ripped off to
get one without the bonus track.
