Love Buzz The 7-inch vinyl record comes with a certificate of authenticity from Scott Vanderpool, who was a volunteer at KCMU, a Seattle non-commercial radio station known for promoting the regional music scene.

Both Vanderpool and Sub Pop co-founder Jon Poneman were KCMU volunteer DJs,” recalled Vanderpool in his certificate of authenticity. “It (the “Love Buzz” test pressing) was handed to me by Jon seconds after it arrived in the mail from the pressing plant… I immediately took it to the radio station to play (on the air).
