Description

Nirvana reach the mainstream with Nevermind

Rare circa 1991 glossy 8 x 10 David Geffen Company publicity photo of Nirvana, signed in black felt tip, "Kurt," "Krist," and "David." In fine condition, with some areas of toning, scattered silvering to darkest areas of photograph, and Cobain's signature light but entirely legible. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL. The release of Nevermind and hit singles 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' rocketed the grunge trio into rock and roll mainstream by the close of 1991. By January 1992, Nevermind had supplanted Michael Jackson's Dangerous as the top album in the country, and the follow-up singles 'Come as You Are,' 'In Bloom,' and 'Lithium' distinguished the record as one of the greatest surprises in rock and roll history. An immensely desirable photo signed in their breakout year.
