38 vinyl products tracked, original 1989 Bleach editions peak at €2,610 on rare listings.
Nirvana formed in 1987 with Kurt Cobain on guitar and vocals, Krist Novoselic on bass, and after several drummers, solidified with Dave Grohl in 1990. Their debut album, Bleach, released in 1989 by Sub Pop, epitomizes early grunge's raw, powerful energy. The band's breakthrough came with 1991's Nevermind, featuring the anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit," recorded with producer Butch Vig. 1993's In Utero reflects a darker, less commercial sound. Live recordings like Live At Reading and MTV Unplugged showcase the band's acoustic versatility. The group's career ended following Cobain's death in 1994.
38 vinyl releases are cataloged, including studio albums, compilations, and various live performances across Europe, the US, and beyond, in diverse formats and colored vinyl editions.
