Setting the stage:

I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…

Nirvana - Nevermind & In Utero, 2 Record Starter Pack:

Nirvana was a revolution. Formed in Aberdeen, Washington in the late 1980s, Nirvana gave voice to a generation with their emotionally raw, sonically explosive style. Led by frontman Kurt Cobain, whose songwriting tapped into angst, vulnerability, and defiance, Nirvana’s breakthrough Nevermind brought grunge from Seattle’s underground into the global spotlight. Nirvana’s influence goes far beyond their three studio albums. With a sound that blended punk urgency, pop hooks, and feedback-laden guitar textures, the band reshaped modern rock and inspired countless artists. Though their time was tragically cut short with Cobain’s passing in 1994. Nirvana’s gritty, haunting, and undeniably powerful music remains timeless.

Record 1: Nirvana - Nevermind:

Released in 1991, Nevermind didn’t just change rock music, it detonated it. Featuring the iconic single “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” this album catapulted Nirvana from the underground into global superstardom and helped launch the grunge movement into the mainstream. The cover art with its underwater baby and dangling dollar bill is one of the most recognizable in rock history. Produced by Butch Vig and mixed by Andy Wallace, the album combines searing energy with undeniable hooks. It includes anthems like “In Bloom,” “Come As You Are,” and the haunting closer “Something in the Way.” Rolling Stone consistently ranks Nevermind among the greatest albums of all time, and it’s preserved in the National Recording Registry for its cultural impact. This ORG Music audiophile pressing is a must-have for collectors and fans alike.

Record 2: Nirvana - In Utero

In Utero, released in 1993, was Nirvana’s bold, uncompromising follow-up to Nevermind. Where Nevermind was polished and radio-friendly, In Utero was raw, abrasive, and deeply personal. Produced by Steve Albini, the record was a deliberate pushback against fame and commercial expectations. In Utero is full of jagged guitars, visceral lyrics, and sonic detours. Tracks like “Heart-Shaped Box,” “Rape Me,” and “All Apologies” capture Cobain’s emotional intensity at its peak. Critically acclaimed for its stark honesty and lo-fi brutality, In Utero debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has since been hailed as one of the greatest albums of the 1990s. This ORG Music pressing faithfully captures the depth, texture, and confrontational spirit of Nirvana’s final studio masterpiece.
