Heart-Shaped Box: the first single from In Utero. There were a bunch of vinyl versions of this one. First, there was a black vinyl U.S. promo 12". It is slightly rare, but not terribly difficult to find. Then, there was a UK 7", which was on black vinyl, and came with painted, molded labels. There were two jukebox versions - one with painted labels and a large 45 hole punched in it and one with unpainted labels. There was also a black vinyl UK 12". A black 12" also came out in the Netherlands. Germany brought us a red vinyl 7", which is relatively easy to procure. Then, there was the French 7" - this is the gem of the bunch. It was also on red vinyl, but was numbered. Others have hypothesized that there were 3,000 copies of this one, as no numbers higher than that have surfaced. Sounds reasonable. The French 7" has been the most valuable vinyl version of Heart-Shaped Box for some time.
