Contest: Nirvana’s “Nevermind” Super Deluxe

Nevermind

One of the most influencial albums of our generation, Nirvana's Nevermind, celebrates 20 years in 2011. To celebrate, we at The Scenestar want to give a lucky reader a limited edition, numbered Super Deluxe Edition of Nevermind (Only 10,000 copies are available in North America, 30,000 globally)! The Super Deluxe edition features not only the original remastered album and accompanying studio and live B-sides, but the first full official release of the pre-Nevermind demos recorded at producer Butch Vig's Smart Studios, as well as boombox recordings of subsequent rehearsals through which the listener can actually experience "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Come As You Are," "On A Plain" and more.

Also featured in the Super Deluxe edition are a pair of previously unreleased BBC recordings and the aforementioned 1991 Paramount show available for the first time and exclusive to this format on CD and DVD (which also features all four music videos from Nevermind), as well as a 90-page bound book full of rare photos, documents and various other visual artifacts of the Nevermind era.

To enter, comment on this post and tell us what Nirvana means to you (music, image, cultural or personal meaning) for a chance to win a copy of the Super Deluxe edition of Nirvana's Nevermind before Friday, Oct. 7 at 9 a.m. Please be sure to use your contact e-mail so we can contact you if you won as well as opting in for more info on upcoming Nirvana releases. Good luck as we celebrate 20 years of Nirvana's Nevermind release and its influence on our cultural landscape!

    My friend and I would spend hours trying to decipher the lyrics to Nevermind. It was the first time I felt personally invested in music.

    Nevermind was the first CD I ever bought. And probably the best.

    First heard of Nirvana in high school. One of the many tapes I played over and over. Good knows how many times I fixed that tape because it would get eaten up in the tape deck. Lot of good memories behind a lot of the songs. Music that would get me through some rough times.

    back in 91 when Nevermind just came out, i saw them play in Atlanta. when Kurt jumped off the stage after he and Chris dumped ice on the crowd, i was the guy who rushed through the crowd and gave Kurt a full-on kiss on the lips. it was part of a dare and Kurt got really shocked then jumped back on stage and left. Courtney referenced this in a 1995 Vanity Fair article

    Nirvana was the first CD I owned. That’s when my whole life changed…I saw music in a total different way. It became a passion and allowed me to obtain a personal style in all aspects of my life. They mean the world to me!!

    Nirvana means being whatever you want to be and saying what you feel. I was a preteen when Nevermind came out and wasn’t supposed to be listening to Nirvana due to the explicit lyrics. I’d have to sneak listens with my older brother’s CD.

    Nirvana is an inspiration to me. They came out of nowhere to turning into the biggest band at the time. It shows me anyone can make it if they try hard. Also, kurt cobain stood up for many people that i can certainly relate to.
