Nirvana - 20 years sinced Nevermind

Unpublished Greg Watermann image to appear in Nevermind box set

1991 saw the release of Nirvana’s second album, Nevermind and its explosive first single Smells Like Teen Spirit. After its release Nirvana catapulted into rock 'n' roll superstardom and the rest is history.

In January 1992 Nirvana graced the cover of Spin magazine, with a feature article intended to “expose the men behind the myth”. LA photographer Greg Watermann was commissioned by the magazine to supply the images for the cover and the feature. (The magazine cover and start of the feature are shown below).

As Greg recalls for us:  "Everything you've ever read about Kurt's non-desire for fame is true. Before the shoot he specifically said to me, "I'm freaked-out by the thought of being on the cover of a major magazine.  We're only here because our publicists told us we HAD to do this."

Greg has been in touch to share this unpublished photograph of Nirvana ( shown to the right ) that he has unearthed for the upcoming Nirvana 20th anniversary set, which is being released later this year.

We are offering signed limited editions of this photograph to collectors.

Please get in touch if you would like further information.
