I guess VMP Anthology "changed the game" in making box sets ridiculously priced.The pricing of these commemorative box sets makes little sense to me. What we’re talking here are essentially 2 single LPs (Nevermind and the CA show) and 3 double LPs (Netherlands, Japan, Australia), plus a useless photo book.
Let’s say the single LPs should retail for $27 each, and the double LPs for $35 each (you would get them for less on Amazon, of course). That’s $159. So basically the book, packaging, and extra 7-inch will cost you another $100. Dumb.
SameI've actually never owned a physical copy of Nevermind.
good call! forgot about some of those nirvana target pressings!The Target exclusive is Pallas pressed and sounds great
As a fellow Wisconsin resident with a penchant for popping into just about every store I come across, I'm surprised I don't know which local you're talking about!Pre-COVID my local had free beer on tap at all times (like just a kegerator in the corner of the store) - it was usually shitty beer like Blatz, but still. I spent a lot of time just poking around, beer in hand, listening to and learning about new music.
I still browse from time to time, but lingering these days seems like a bad idea.
The deluxe is nice but too spendy. I have the Pallas pressing and it sounds great so I would need more information before double dipping. That 7” and tip on gatefold jacket would be nice though probably not $40 nice but if it becomes available on Amazon for like $25 it might be worth it. Need some reviews first though and I am sure they will press a bajillion copies so their is no rush.

should be widely available!
Not really to your point here but Grunge is such a bad descriptor. Nirvana was a great Punk band and has more in common stylistically IMO with Dinosour Jr. and Sonic Youth than they do Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam. It’s always been weird that all the bands from the PNW got bunched together even though their music varies a great deal.I think I might have had the cd back in the day? Maybe? I was a much bigger fan of other grunge bands and Nirvana usually lost out in my purchases.

A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing. Exploring a vein mined by their heroes The Velvet Underground and The Stooges, Glasgow's JMC were the link between pure pop and white noise in the 80s and 90s.

Strictly Discs in Madison -speaking of WI locals, did you go to Atomic back in the day? I still really miss that place -probably my favorite store ever.As a fellow Wisconsin resident with a penchant for popping into just about every store I come across, I'm surprised I don't know which local you're talking about!
Co-sign but I had to touch it up before I could put pen to paper.Not really to your point here but Grunge is such a bad descriptor.

I think my preferred format is still the one I listened to the most: a beat up old maxell 90-minute tape with nevermind on side A and incesticide on side B.Same
Edit: I own the cassette tape (as in I still have it)
My 1st was Spiceworld, then Big Willie Style, then The Offspring Americanait was the 1st CD i ever bought. my 2nd was Big Willie Style. I regret nothing.
