I too bought Big Willie Style. It was a jam.

Is that still in print or do I need to search the Discogs?

I don't know that it is still in print really, but I do see it from time to time in record shops. this is the one i have but i think there are tons of variants. some even used the ORG music AAA plates. I think you just want one with the Pallas sticker on front.

Nevermind 30th Anniversary 1LP + 7in

Nevermind (30th Anniversary):Nirvana

thesoundofvinyl.us

Nevermind 30th Anniversary Super Deluxe Box Set

Nevermind (30th Anniversary):Nirvana

thesoundofvinyl.us

should be widely available!

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.

The Target exclusive is Pallas pressed and sounds great

I guess VMP Anthology "changed the game" in making box sets ridiculously priced.

I've actually never owned a physical copy of Nevermind.

good call! forgot about some of those nirvana target pressings!

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.

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!

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.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God Exclusive LP

Psychocandy Exclusive LP

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. In turn, their half dozen albums, nearly two dozen singles, and live shows were an...

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.

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.

Live At Rockpalast

The Stray Cats were born of the punk era, but it was evident from their love of pure rock & roll that rockabilly would be their driving force. Guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer, Lee “Rocker” Drucker on standup bass and Jim “Slim Jim Phanton” McDonald on drums took their revivalist style to England...

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.

Co-sign but I had to touch it up before I could put pen to paper.

How wild is it that KC asked JMascis to join Nirvana twice?

Edit: I own the cassette tape (as in I still have it)

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.
