Question
  hi jennifer, like you i share the love of nirvana/kurt cobain's music. i though he was a real special person, and had an immense amout of talent. i have two questions for you. one is about the release of an 8 c.d. box set called heart shaped box. i need to know what exactly was included in this box set, like a shirt or a bookelt? and secondly, i am also a memorablia collector of nirvana items. i collect official and unofficial release's. i have quite a bit of live recordings and would like to trade/buy with other collectors as well. but i really dont know any other die hard nirvana collectors like myself. so if you can direct me to a website or lead me into the right direction of other live nirvana collectors out there i would appreciate it.
          thanks jennifer...barry

Answer
Hello Barry,

I am glad you are an avid fan like myself, and still interested even after all of these years. =)

Ive already answered the question about that boxset, unfortualty I do not have alot of information on it. I do not have a track listing either. I will give you what I gave the other person who asked, and ask the same question in return.. If you ever find out, please email me and let me know! It was released with a T-Shirt. Here is the info..

The heart-shaped box set, was an unoffical /aftermarket import set. I was cataloged to come with 7 disc's and a shirt. As with most unoffical released items, it has not much value, unless you're dealing with a personal collector.

You should see if your set matches this info:
Heart-Shaped Nirvana Box
type   Box Set (aftermarket)
label:    
catalog#   FAN007
format: 7xCD
length :    
made in :    
released in  19??  
date:    
notes:A shirt comes with the seven discs.

Expertise

I can answer questions about the release history of NIRVANA from 1989-Present, questions about the history of the band, life & death of Kurt Cobain, the remaining members of NIRVANA, and most questions about his family. I can fact check tour dates, live shows, and just about anything related.

Experience

I helped out Carrie Borzillo, rock new editor for cdnow.com (now amazon.com) with fact checking, an interview, eyewitness account and was given special thanks in her book Eyewitness Nirvana. I've been studying NIRVANA since 1993 and have read literally thousands of books, magazine articles, and other publications throughout the last decade and a half. My reference collection is huge with just about every book, entire release catalog, and more from all around the world. I started volunteering for AllExpterts.com in 1999 before it was purchased by About.com sometime in the early 00's. You can find all of the answers to previously asked public question dating back to 1999. I wrote, edited, and published a NIRVANA newsletter (NIRVANA FOREVER), and online zine (About a Son; Lithium) that both ran 7 years on America Online. I've founded and sistered a lot of NIRVANA communities on LiveJournal.com (NIRVANA FOREVER, Kurt & Jim, and NIRVANA Elitests), and Yahoo.com (NIRVANA FOREVER).
