Well here it is... the biggest release and breakthrough album for Nirvana. I spent some time deciding on which version I really wanted to pick up a few years ago. There are many standard black formats available from numerous countries; USA, England, Portugal, Brazil and many more. But I really wanted something distinct and collectible.
I decided to go with the Japanese version. It is a Universal release from 2007 and includes the Japanese insert and LP runner. I find the Japanese versions very interesting. The packaging is impeccable and the vinyl weight is 200 grams. These are thick records and the grooves are a little deeper to boost the mix. I picked this version up for around $60 dollars. It is typically worth close to $90-$100.
This record is a necessity to any Nirvana collection and finding the perfect version is hard to do. Most reissues run around $25 to $50 dollars. But imports are really where to go for Nevermind vinyl.
The most sought out version tends to be "Original Master Recordings". This is a 2000 release that pulls from the masters and has some additional mixing and they are numbered (5000 copies). Most of these run $200 to $400 dollars. Enjoy this wonderful record in any format. If you are looking for the hidden track "Endless Nameless". You will need to pick up the Come As You Are 12". I know the picture disc has it on there. Definitely worth picking up. The vinyl version rips and makes it a worth while purchase.
More to come... thanks!
