♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ Nevermind was never meant to
change the world, but you can never predict when the zeitgeist will hit, and Nirvana's
second album turned out to be the place where alternative rock crashed into the
mainstream. This wasn't entirely an accident, either, since Nirvana did sign
with a major label, and they did release a record with a shiny surface, no
matter how humongous the guitars sounded. And, yes, Nevermind is probably a
little shinier than it should be, positively glistening with echo and fuzzbox
distortion, especially when compared with the black-and-white murk of Bleach.
This doesn't discount the record, since it's not only much harder than any
mainstream rock of 1991, its character isn't on the surface, it's in the
exhilaratingly raw music and haunting songs. Kurt Cobain's personal problems
and subsequent suicide naturally deepen the dark undercurrents, but no matter
how much anguish there is on Nevermind, it's bracing because he exorcises those
demons through his evocative wordplay and mangled screams -- and because the
band has a tremendous, unbridled power that transcends the pain, turning into
pure catharsis. And that's as key to the record's success as Cobain's
songwriting, since Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl help turn this into music
that is gripping, powerful, and even fun (and, really, there's no other way to
characterize "Territorial Pissings" or the surging
"Breed"). In retrospect, Nevermind may seem a little too unassuming
for its mythic status -- it's simply a great modern punk record -- but even
though it may no longer seem life-changing, it is certainly life-affirming,
which may just be better. (EXCERPT
FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY STEPHEN THOMAS ERLEWINE, ALL MUSIC GUIDE/ALLMUSIC.COM/) This is a rare opportunity
to acquire this great album in its FINEST audio format, no longer in print, and
no longer easily obtainable. Finding a still sealed
original copy?!?! Forget it – not even a HOPE!!! This may be the last one you
will ever see.
♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ ·CONDITION: ·THE RECORD (IMPORTANT NOTE:
unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!;
wegrade records under the strong,
diffuse room light or discrete sunlight) (a)THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED
AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to
be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our
policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE
READ BEFORE PLACING A BID). (b)The album comes with the original MFSL cardboard inner sleeve (we can
see it through the opening) (c)The record comes in a hi-grade MFSL PVC inner sleeve (we can see it
through the opening) (d)The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible
vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually,
the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even
dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital
recording! (e)The record is also pressed on a beautiful, high-quality, virgin-grade
vinyl, which is usually used for audiophile, extended-dynamic-range, half-speed
mastered and connoisseur pressings. (f)In addition, the record is pressed on a fairly thick, relatively
inflexible vinyl. ·THE COVER COVER IS STONE MINT, STILL SEALED AND NOTHING SHORT OF ABSOLUTE PERFECTION,
WITHOUT EVEN A HINT OF A FLAW OR DEFECT; A KIND OF BEAUTY YOU ONLY GET TO SEE
ONCE IN A LIFETIME. NO VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THECOVER
