Biography

Nirvana were formed by singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987. Nirvana went through a succession of drummers, the longest-lasting being Dave Grohl, who joined the band in 1990.

In the late 1980s Nirvana established itself as part of the Seattle grunge scene, releasing first album Bleach for the independent record label Sub Pop in 1989. ... Read more in Amazon's Nirvana Store

Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

The Nirvana Nevermind 20th anniversary reissue is also available as a 2-CD Deluxe Edition featuring the remastered album and B-sides, the Smart Studio sessions, boombox rehearsals and BBC sessions, a 4-LP, 180-gram heavyweight vinyl edition featuring the same 40 tracks as the Deluxe Edition, a remastered CD of the original album, and digital versions of the standard and deluxe editions. The Paramount concert, transferred from 16mm film and multi-track audio, is the only known Nirvana concert shot to film and will be available in a 1080p high-definition picture and uncompressed 5.1 surround sound and stereo on stand-alone Blu-ray, along with DVD and digital long form video formats.

Product Description

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this groundbreaking album from the Grunge trio including 27 bonus tracks. Features the album plus B-sides, the Smart Studio sessions, boombox rehearsals and BBC sessions. Released in September 1991, Nirvana's sophomore album and major label debut elevated Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl from a critically acclaimed Aberdeen, Washington, cult band to generational spokesmen who'd unwittingly created a cultural shift and musical touchstone. 39 tracks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Oh great loudness war, 2011 Deluxe Edition October 6, 2011
Format:Audio CD
The good old loudness war. After getting Thin Lizzy's classic Chinatown Deluxe Edition, I noticed something. It wasn't mixed to maximum loudness. Yipee! Nirvana's Nevermind however was not so fortunate. To your average kid who solely listens to illegally downloaded MP3's on his ipod, this might sound fine, but not to me. It's just too loud. The music has no pop, nothing jumping at you. Very limited dynamic range. You can see for yourself in the customer images I have posted. Think of it as going to the movies and everything is the same volume. The explosions, the gunfights, etc at the same volume of say, a person speaking. Now that just doesn't make sense now does it? There's no oomph, no pop, nothing to make you jump out of your seat, and that's just what this deluxe edition accomplishes. The extras are actually pretty decent, and the packaging is nice apart from Universal cutting corners and replacing the hard outer plastic box with the DELUXE EDITION logo on it with a band that wraps around the digipack that you have to cut through to get to the goods, or you just get a plain little stick on it that reads DELUXE EDITION. It looks cool and all, but it doesn't cut it. I strongly suggest sticking to your original CD and come across the extras on your own. Universal does not deserve your cash on this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Thanks Mr. Ludwig for keeping the loudness war alive. October 3, 2011
By borgy
Format:Audio CD
in a 2009 article Bob Ludwig stated "People talk about downloads hurting record sales, I and some other people would submit that another thing that is hurting record sales these days is the fact that they are so compressed that the ear just gets tired of it. When you're through listening to a whole album of this highly compressed music, your ear is fatigued. You may have enjoyed the music but you don't really feel like going back and listening to it again. It's been really rough, folks, But it can get better and I think it will get better. I'm glad it's going to be over."

This is the same guy who's remastered this version of 'Nevermind' 2 years later to the very same loudness war standard he has criticised and seemed to suggest was reversing.

All the dynamic range on this classic album is gone. Which means there's no punch to the music, every song stays the same volume throughout so when a chorus kicks in it doesn't get louder than the verse and lift the song.

From what i've read over the years, Kurt loved using the quiet verse LOUD chorus technique, so for a band that was obviously about dynamics it's baffling that this remaster even made it onto a commercially available CD/download. A whole new generation of Nirvana fans are going to be robbed of the way this album should really sound as mastered dynamically in 1991 by Howie Weinberg.

UMG don't care, they just want your money, but that's ok, you don't have to give it to them, no matter how big a Nirvana fan you are, you can download the extra content for free 'illegally' after all they're offering you an inferior 'new' product when your original copy of Nevermind sounds perfect -- you just have to use that thing known as a volume knob or volume buttons.

"All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly".

5.0 out of 5 stars Nirvana Nevermind Super Deluxe Boxset September 27, 2011
Format:MP3 Music
Having listened to Nevermind in this remastered form (Super Deluxe Boxset), I must say it is quite good. The sound is very clear when compared to the 1991 CD. The volume has been slightly increased but it luckily is not a victim of the loudness wars. The Smart Sound Sessions tracks show the band's beginning and are decent sound quality but those versions are hardly essential. You won't find yourself using the repeat button. The Boombox Rehearsal tapes, although recorded on what appears to be a crappy tape deck, are cool to hear. There is something genuinely amazing about hearing the band in such an intimate yet powerful way. You wouldn't necessarily put those songs on repeat either but within the context of the boxset, they are a welcomed addition. The finest part of this boxset is perhaps the most anticipated, The Devonshire Mixes a.k.a. The Butch Vig Mixes. This is basically the version of the finished record before mixer Andy Wallace got his hands on it, or the way the band thought it should sound. To be honest, the results aren't all that different. They're the same songs with the polish scrubbed off. If anything they sound less focused and more grungy. I was expecting these to sound radically difference but they really don't. You won't hear it and have a "second-coming-of-Jesus" experience because in truth it wasn't the production that made Nevermind so good. It was the songs and if you need three hours of them to make you realize it then you probably weren't listening closely enough in the first place. The Paramount live tracks are awesome. What I appreciate about this CD is that this time there was no fake crowd noise added in like they did on the Live At Reading cd. The blu-ray isn't the highest quality which is understandable given the film's age and it is anamorphic, meaning that it's technically widescreen but there are two-inch black bars visible on the left and right sides of the screen. It's not too distracting though. If it bothers you, a zoomed-in full widescreen view can be selected from the disc menu but the picture quality is slightly reduced. The sound is amazing. Both the 2 channel stereo and 5.1 surround sound are excellent. To conclude, in truth, I believe the Andy Wallace mix of Nevermind, as originally released, is the essential version. So, while this collection is impressive, unless you are a hardcore fan who needs to have everything, your original version of Nevermind or the remastered single disc version will do just fine.

The LP Version
I've read online that the vinyl version was mastered from the CD release and not from the original tapes. One blogger mentions that this release is plagued with the same Loudness War issues that afflicted the CD. Mastering vinyl from a CD won't give the same sound as mastering from the tapes.
