Album Reviews

Good luck finding a copy. They're pretty much sold out and the price of used copies is only likely to rise for this iconic grunge-rock album with the "sell-out" cover.

While the sound quality of the recent limited edition UMG-Japan 200g vinyl series varies, this one is a winner in every way and comparable to Mobile Fidelity's excellent 180g pressing from what seems like just a few years ago but is actually a dozen!

In fact, one could argue that this is better, but why argue? For one thing, both are spectacular and both are rare and out of print.

If this is a "must have" album for you, it's worth spending for but what's really needed is another audiophile pressing from the original master tape to meet what is sure to be continuing demand for a classic rock album. Did I compare Nevermind to classic rock? Yes. 17 years later, that's what it is.
