They sound as if they were cut (recorded) off a cassette played back on a cheap walkman (muffled/lack of highs), on at least one of them, there is what sounds like motor noise throughout the side, the buzzing continued into the lead-out grooves. I have 3 of the Nirvana jukebox singles you mentioned on your website (not 'Teen Spirit' though). These gems will surely be a good investment and will definitely rise in valueВ over time. These records were made to promote the sales of the album and were not meant to be sold at record stores. Jukeboxes, along with turntables went obsolete in the early 90's when they were replaced by CDs, but because CD did not quite make it big until the mid 90's limited titles of certain artistes/titlesВ were still pressedВ and only available in Asian jukebox as promos & perhaps nowhere else.

Local jukebox records are real gems in terms of their rarity.

In South East Asia, Jukeboxes were only found in coffeeshops and entertainment outlets in big cities, thus their numbers are limited, perhaps less than 200 jukeboxes in the entire region. History Of South East Asian Jukebox Records: Even during their heydays, not very many were printed therefore their number now is very limited thus ensuring their collectabilty.В Moreover, for a record to survive 30 or even 40+ years in the humid weather of south east asia is truly remarkable and proves the longetivity of the Vinyl Format as well as TLC by its previous owner. Vinyl Record has become an obsolete item here in South East Asia and many are either thrown or destroyed by people who do not know their value. This is a south east asia pressing and it is very collectible in other parts of the world especially Europe and America. They didn't appear until september 2005, which is a bit strange, as sellers claim they were in use only until the mid '90s. Used copies may have the typical spiral scratches from having been played in a jukebox, and index labels. similar records exist for many other artists, and collectors agree on them being unofficial, local releases made in a few hundred copies. Plain sleeves, and no label credits on the label.
