Description
The vinyl edition of Nirvanas hit album, NEVERMIND, which helped usher in the Grunge era of the 1990s. Nevermind is the second studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991. Produced by Butch Vig, Nevermind was the group's first release on DGC Records. Frontman Kurt Cobain sought to make music outside the restrictive confines of the Seattle grunge scene, drawing influence from groups such as the Pixies and their use of "loud/quiet" dynamics. It is their first album to feature drummer Dave Grohl. Despite low commercial expectations by the band and its record label, Nevermind became a surprise success in late 1991, largely due to the popularity of its first single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit". By January 1992, it had replaced Michael Jackson's album Dangerous at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The album also produced three other successful singles: "Come as You Are", "Lithium", and "In Bloom". The Recording Industry Association of America has certified the album Diamond (over 10 million copies shipped), and the album has sold over 30 million copies worldwide. Nevermind was in part responsible for bringing alternative rock to a large mainstream audience, and has been ranked highly on lists of the greatest albums of all time by publications such as Rolling Stone and Time.

Amazing album, but delivered in pathetic condition.
The album itself is a masterpiece, but the record is nowhere near. The record cover sleeve had creases and tears all over. Even if you ignore that, the record itself has soo many loops, it gets stuck at a loop so much at almost every song that it makes the experience very pathetic. Didn't expect this at all. Watch out fellow Indian vinyl enthusiasts!

This is the RTI AUDIOPHILE 180G VINYL LEVI SEITZ MASTERING USA FURNACE LP
As I write this review on April 22, 2024…I’m reminded that Kurt passed away on April 5, 1994. 17 days ago it was 30 years since his death-wow….seems like just yesterday. So sad. Okay I understand this is not the 2013 Bernie Grundman mastering and pressing. That cut is getting more rare and expensive to find. It's also been discontinued due to licensing agreement disputes and rebranding since around 2019.I want to speak specifically about this particular master cut from Levi Seitz (Black Belt Mastering/Furnace) as part of the 30th anniversary and 2022 re-release. No one knows if this was cut using the original master tapes but seeing that it was originally recorded in 1991 the record industry started to digitize recording by this time anyways. Likely the original master tapes were converted to high-fidelity digital files anyways given the popularity of CD's in the late 80's. I imagine it's AAA as this mastering is very rich, clean, and precise ... I find Kurt's voice and guitar have been moved more focal and crisp - stage centre. The drums have an excellent loud punch but have been moved slightly back behind Kurt...at least on this cut. The cymbals ring slightly less but still sharp and clean. Even in (i.e., Smells Like Teen Spirit) the crashing cymbals have been slightly tamed and plays on the left channel but not both speakers. The sound stage is quite open with very good separation between instruments and singers-more similar to a live performance. It's obvious to me that Levi intended to cut this lacquer wanting to keep the sound stage wide (similar to the highly acclaimed BG master) but I can tell that Levi also wanted to focus a little more on Kurt's voice and guitar. This mastering is extremely close to the BG master but just slightly tighter control over the percussion...and that's a good thing in my opinion.I was born in 1973 and remember hearing this Album in Grade 10 .... I know it very well. I really like this version that Levi has remastered. The bass tones on "Something in the Way" are incredible and Kurt's voice sounds like he's just beside you, whispering the lyrics into your ear. I played my original CD from 1991 that I bought as a young teenager when it was released. I can honestly say ... listening to "Something in the Way" on this vinyl album vrs my original cd is night and day different. This LP mastering sounds like a new song - almost like hearing it live for the first time. It literally sends shivers down my spine!I own a vintage 1978 Marantz 6300 turn table, playing a vintage N98e Shure cartridge elliptical nude stylus set at 1.2 grams, a vintage Marantz 2252B amp, and expensive custom 4 omi-directional speakers 20 hz - 27,000 hz at 8 ohms. If something doesn't sound good from a bad remaster or pressing I would hear it because my system is very good quality. The album arrived extremely clean, absolutely no-surface noise, complete dead wax, no warps. If you want a wonderfully, open, rich, full sound cut...get this 180 gram Levi Steitz. You will not be disappointed. He knew what he was doing in my opinion. He's left all the grunge, left all the potent, timed chaos of Dave Grohl's drumming...that we all love... but Levi has really brought Kurt's voice and guitar front and centre in this beautiful mastering! My favourite version hands down!

Mastered beautifully, excellent condition
Amazing I have never owned this album in any medium until now but it is now in my collection. The mastering on this copy is fantastic. Beautiful deep sound coming through. The disc came in great condition with no play issues. Even if you were never huge into this band this really feels like one of those "must have" albums for collectors, and of course fans
