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 very good condition, with areas of toning, Cobain's signature light but legible, and silvering to the dark areas of the image which will likely progress to eventual deterioration. 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 the 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 history. An immensely desirable photo signed in their breakout year.
