Description from the seller
General information
Artist: Nirvana
Title: Bleach
Format: Cassette, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Red Shell ("Love Buzz" Edition)
Label: Sub Pop / Tape Head City
Catalog Number: SP 34
Country: US
Year: 2021 (Originally released 1989)

Description
This is the highly sought-after Tape Head City exclusive reissue of Nirvana’s debut album, "Bleach". Released to commemorate the "Love Buzz" single, this version features a striking translucent red shell. This specific edition sold out almost instantly upon release and has since become a staple for Nirvana cassette collectors due to its low production run and aesthetic appeal.
Condition
Tape: Mint (M) — Still Factory Sealed. The tape is in pristine, unplayed condition.
Case: Mint (M) — The J-card and plastic case are protected by the original factory shrinkwrap. Crack on edge.
Notes for collectors
Investment Grade: As of 2026, sealed copies of this 500-unit run are increasingly rare on the open market.
Rarity: This is the "Love Buzz" Red variant, which is significantly more difficult to find than the standard black or later silver reissues.
Grading Potential: Given the pristine state of the wrap and the lack of cracks, this item is a prime candidate for VMG (Vintage Media Grading). A grade of 8.5 or higher would significantly multiply its market value among high-stakes Nirvana archivists.
