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!

    Like many, I wasn’t entirely aware of Nirvana until the release of Nevermind and, at that time, didn’t delve deeper into their catalog than their CDs and the videos in heavy rotation on MTV. Big mistake. Kurt’s death was without a doubt the end of an blissful era as a teenage music fan. It didn’t strike me as too surprising given the behavior he displayed and some of the lyrics he wrote but it epitomized a band whose skyrocketing career trajectory was cut short before my eyes. this was the one musician and band’s passing that i can definitively claim to have jolted me out of the naivety of youth and into adolescent (and subsequently adult) cynicism. I look back and listen to their music with a melancholy reflection of what could have been.

    Before Nirvana blew up, I had a friend get me into more artistic thinking music than I was listening to. I was around 15 and music really helped me get through high school. It was 1991 and my friend got us tickets to see a Mudhoney/Supersuckers concert. I still remember people hanging from the ceiling when the show ended. After this I started to look into what other music was out there and a lot of what I liked came out of Seattle. Nirvana was one of the groups that I fell in love with. I still feel this void because I never got to see them in concert. We didn’t have the internet to hear new bands. We relied on the bands we liked to tell us who to listen to. Kurt got me to listen to even more great music that my friend started me on. Nirvana was a major influence of who I am today.
