He died when I was in Junior High. Nirvana and Metallica were my introductions to rock. I feel so bad for younger people that didn't have this stuff mainstream when they were coming up. modern music marketing is bullshit. I'm sure there are a hundred bands just as badass that never make the light of day because everyone is supposed to love hip hop and bullshit rap these days.
Probably the tape most responsible for my hearing loss. I used to listen to this over and over on my walkman when I was in high school. It was thirty years ago tonight, December 30, 1993, that I saw Nirvana in concert at the Forum in Inglewood. The show is available on RUclips to watch but nothing will ever match being there. The feeling of excitement in the air was palpable. This was actually Nirvana's first full scale arena tour of America and people were pumped to see their heroes. It seemed Kurt had slayed his demons and things were all clear for the band to dominate the music scene for the foreseeable future. It was tragic that it would only take a few months for the whole thing to unravel. Losing Kurt felt like losing a brother. I'll always feel a little tug on the heart listening to their music, but I can't see a point in life when I stop listening.
everyone with hearing loss are basically guinea pigs for people in the future, since we listen to stuff at a loud ENOUGH volume and use earplugs at concerts
I had a chance to see them in Toronto, was offered a free ticket and turned it down because I was too "death metal" at the time. Regret does not even begin to describe the feeling.
EXACTLY how I remember this sounding as a kid out of my cheap headphones and cassette player, but in the best way possible! Really brings me back to the good old days.
I reckon the Nevermind original cassette has some special magic quality, over other formats. First heard it on the primary school playground age 11 in '92, and was immediately hooked, like the baby on the cover
Hehe, i was so pissed in 1994 in south germany, when Nirvana had his last concert in Munich, its only 1,5 hours away from my hood, but i was too young to get a ticket, hrrr. Today im so happy that Im born in '81 and grew up in this free and incredibly cool time. We were freer than a bird and the people were all so friendly.
I grew up with cassettes in the eighties and nineties and then I was a CD user, and I can tell you that cassettes, it doesn't matter if they are analogues, are clearly inferior in quality, and that is the reason why they disappeared.
@@9defebrerodel79 I would agree with you on Type I Tape if it's a low quality tape...Type IV Metal Tape, you couldn't tell the difference between a CD and Metal Tape on high end gear.
@@yaskeepants thats preventable. there is no way to listen to a cassette without losing top and bottom end, and no matter how careful you are with it it will degrade with time. anything can get damaged if you're careless with it, but cds do not degrade from mere use.
THIS is how I remember Nevermind. Warm tape saturation coming through my crappy Walkman earphones. Obviously I’m biased by nostalgia but man it sound so much better this way
I wonder whether it has to something to do with the genre. I think that overall punk, hardcore, grunge records sound amazing when they have this lo-fi aesthetic to it. Like, my favourite "heavy" album ever, Bleach03's "起爆剤" is like this by default. I have it on CD so I can hear this beautiful dirt in best quality, but the production itself is very purposefully dirty, raw and messy, which I love. I feel like it can add a lot to a heavy record, but there are other styles that I think sound much better in high quality. For example Pink Floyd, I have some cassettes and it sounds very nice but if I were to choose one way to listen to them it would be high quality, because that was kinda what they were going for in their style. I think this added rawness and saturation adds a lot to punk but not for everything
Album was recorded on analog tape, mixed on an analog console and then duplicated right to cassette tape (all analog in the process). Obviously capturing it digitally and posted to RUclips but it was captured on a higher end cassette deck and edited in a DAW (iZotope RX 7 Advanced). What you're hearing is a solid cassette tape rip.

Cassette truly does hit different. I realized that listening to an old cassette of In Utero. My friend had a car with a busted stereo that only played the right channel. So we cranked it higher of course. One night we were driving to a camp out by a lake and this guy was just zooming down these dirt roads in the woods at night, must've been around 50mph. I was high off my ass on a thc gummy and he put on In Utero and cranked it loud, I'm talking louder than the sound of his car speeding thru a gravel road. I'd heard all the songs on that album countless times before and yet In Utero has never, NEVER sounded so visceral and heavy as it did that night. I was literally almost a little scared, the music felt that intense. Incredible, the power of this music. Never underestimate a good cassette pushed to its limits.
It's like nature, if it ain't broke, why fix it? I prefer my music before it's been "cleaned up", compressed, re-engineered, or messed with in any way, other than what the artist wanted, at the time, etc.✌🏼🏴🇬🇧
I love how warm sounding this is compared to all the digital versions. Everything feel more present, the bass drum feels like a kick to the forehead and I’m here for! The guitars have some more growl/low end .Vocals/the sound in general are much more open and crisp too!

@@DamnDealDone warm audio sound- usually you’re going to hear a lean to bass/lower end Crisp- very clear sounding I don’t think that’s a contradiction.

Sounds very raw! Bass is booming and is very dynamic, guitar is even scratchier than latter versions I've heard. The dynamic inconsistencies and depth are the most prevalent on Lithium and Polly. Very alive and raw and I love it! Thanks for sharing.
As a Nirvana fan who discovered them in 2015 when I was 14, thank you. I’ve wanted to hear these albums in their original formats from the 90s just to hear the difference. There’s no bad version of this album, but damn there’s something special about this one
This is the best rip I've ever seen. Not everyone even realizes how good analog can look if it's done correctly. When most people digitize audio cassettes, it's usually sped up a bit and doesn't sound right. Sure there is editing, but I'm sure the majority of people don't know how to do that.
When I was 12 I stole this cassette from my parents box of "shitty music cassettes" and it completely changed my life. It lived under my pillow for years next to a bunch of others I got the same way because I listened to them with my headphones to sleep every night. I can't see the image of this one without having flashbacks to those first moments of feeling that the music was incredible :') I didn't even understood the lyrics, because I didn't speak English back then, but omfg how I loved this!!!
I listened to this album religiously in my teens. Hearing it in its original glory here and seeing all of the original album artwork brought back a flood of sweet memories. Thanks, uploader!
Sometimes I forget that this album released on cassette. I was fortunate enough to have a CD player back in the day and I bought a super early copy of this album on CD (one of the first 100,000 copies that's missing "Endless, Nameless"). I've never heard this album from an analog source before, but I gotta say this sounds excellent, even with RUclips's compression.

Ironically, the 2nd CD I ever purchased as a teen. The first? And Justice for All. Both spun so hard they ground to dust. Few albums can snap you back to that initial sensation of ‘new’. Forever grateful it was the nineties that were there for me in those formative years.
@@k.t.5405 Here’s one that’ll make your head pop: Christmas, 7th grade. Stepmom gets me this CD as a stocking-stuffer. I had no clue what it was. Gay-looking cover with these dudes all putting their hands together like Power Rangers. Something like that… I thought “WTH does she know about current music?” While I was right (because it was a Top 10 on display at Best Buy), I ignored this CD for nearly an entire year before I yanked the clear wrapping and barcode off of it. The album? Ten, Pearl Jam. 🤯🥴🤣
Songs that I heard a long time ago, I still remember every time I come home from work, sit next to the music player and drink a glass of whiskey. Suddenly all the fatigue from work disappeared. Thank you for sharing this music
This album is so good and so popular its trendy to hate on it. I got hooked on it as a kid in the 90s. Every winter my mom would drive my friends and I up to the snow to go snowboarding and we'd listen to Nevermind, The Doors first 3 albums, In Utero, and Disareli Gears to get in the mood to take on the mountain.
This sounds exactly like when I would BLAST this on my Bose studio speakers. Listening to it was like being in a concert. I first heard “Lithium “ on my Bose car speakers when it played on the local college radio station. I fell in love with Nirvana immediately !!!!!!
Biggest difference to me seems that the kick and bass seems to be more prominent than the digital versions/remasters. I've only heard CD/digital versions of this album, I always thought it sounded a bit sterile, but on cassette with the added warmth it seems to be better suited
Look at the list of hard rock/metal albums that came out during the 3 months before and after this album. Greatest period in music IMO. Saw it first hand as it came out, mind blown each time.
@@bobbyjones1055 Which bands are you referring to in your comment? I remember listening Metallica's black album and ac/dc that I can't remember the album name. I was barely a teenager at this time and I was a rebel with some friends at school. Great memories! Thanks for the sharing.
I remember buying the cassette a few days after it released. I played it in my Walkman and home stero until the tape snapped. I fixed it with scotch tape and re recorded a back up copy to use, it lasted another 7 or so years, then bought the cd off a friend for $1!!! I still have the cd. Please read, WHERE THE DESERT MARIGOLDS BLOOM TWICE A YEAR. By Thomas C. Stuhr On paperback. On kdp. Very punk rock.
Cassette players originally only played one side at a time. Eventually the technology developed to include an auto-reverse mechanism that would switch to the other side of the tape without having to physically remove and flip the tape over. With continuous play this mechanism would put strain on the tape and effect the sound quality of songs at the end of side 1 and more noticeably the beginning of side 2.
This is how I remember this album sounding. Thanks for uploading this. Most of the remastered versions of the iconic grunge rock albums from the 90s do not capture the energy these songs are meant to have.
Este para mi el mejor album de nirvana y este año se cumplen 30 años que ya no esta entre nosotros kurt todavia no se puede creer era un grande de la musica pero el legado que dejo pasaran generaciones y siempre esta vivo ❤❤❤❤
What a sound, what a quality, what a masterpiece.........! I am listening the whole album the second time this week since i found this version!! Thank you, this is a journey to my youth
greetings from indonesia....i was listening Nirvana since 1996- now....thanks for upload cassette version...this is the best than new version which cutted the first intro..
Kurt and I share a birthday he died when i was just 3 years old but growing up with young parents I grew up listening to Nirvana probably more than any other band now I'm older than Kurt ever lived to be and there is something seriously tragic about that.
I feel you. I grew up listening mostly to nirvana and green day, and they both inspired me to pick up the guitar, because they weren't guys who were getting 'technical' in their playing. I remember learning territorial pissings and when I played along to it for the first time, I had goosebumps. Kurt was a simple guy and wrote simple songs that sounded oh so dynamic. I was born after his time. But it's amazing how well I connect with his lyrics. Proves their music stood the test of time. RIP Kurdt. You'll be missed
I remember when my brother got this Cassette. It was like magic in a box. Kurt is one of the most intelligent song writers of the last 40 years. He knew how to grab you and pull you in, then swing you around and make you feel so much.
I love this record, ESPECIALLY on cassette tape! I'm immensely happy that someone took the time to put it up in this format. The aggression and distortion on this album is perfect for cassette.
I heard smells like teen spirit and asked my grandma if she would get the cassette tape for me. I didn’t know it was called nevermind yet so I said just ask the person working there for smells like teen spirit. Well she went in alright and straight up asked dude if he had smells like peanut butter. I wish I was there to see the look on his face.
30 years ago today the world lost someone very special! 3 days from now 30 years ago I remember hearing the news in my guitar players VW Bug! We pulled over and sobbed. The next 3 days my speakers belong to Nirvana!
"Nirvana's 'Nevermind' is an iconic masterpiece that revolutionized the music industry and left an indelible mark on generations to come. With its raw energy, haunting melodies, and deeply introspective lyrics, this album transcends mere musicality to become a cultural phenomenon. From the anthemic 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' to the haunting 'Come As You Are,' each track is a testament to the band's unparalleled talent and Kurt Cobain's enigmatic presence. 'Nevermind' not only defined a genre but also spoke to the disillusioned youth of its time, capturing the angst and uncertainty of a generation. Its enduring legacy is a testament to its timeless relevance and unparalleled influence on alternative music."

Nie mam nic do was ale musicie przerwać tą wojnę. Umieracie i wy i Ukraińcy. To jest umieranie a nie giniecie. Musicie przerwać blaski iskry śmierci Jesteście winni ale tylko przed śmiercią kiedy stajecie z nią oko w oko Putin wam nie rozmydli źrenic. Tomek Polska. 10.01.2024. Jeden świt po tobie.
Nobody cares. Russia ia a terrorist state

Ironically, the 2nd CD I ever purchased as a teen. The first? And Justice for All. Both spun so hard they ground to dust.
Few albums can snap you back to that initial sensation of ‘new’. Forever grateful it was the nineties that were there for me in those formative years.
Check out my RTL, Puppets, Justice, and Black album cassette rips on my channel. Think you’ll dig’em! #TallicA4Life
Epic start to your CD collection , dude 😎
@@k.t.5405 Here’s one that’ll make your head pop:
Christmas, 7th grade. Stepmom gets me this CD as a stocking-stuffer. I had no clue what it was. Gay-looking cover with these dudes all putting their hands together like Power Rangers. Something like that…
I thought “WTH does she know about current music?” While I was right (because it was a Top 10 on display at Best Buy), I ignored this CD for nearly an entire year before I yanked the clear wrapping and barcode off of it.
The album?
Ten, Pearl Jam.
🤯🥴🤣
Omg thank you for the chapters! ❤
듣자마자 어마어마한 차이를 느꼈습니다.. 바로 플레이리스트로 가져가겠습니다. 감사합니다 형님..🥲🥲
Songs that I heard a long time ago, I still remember every time I come home from work, sit next to the music player and drink a glass of whiskey. Suddenly all the fatigue from work disappeared. Thank you for sharing this music
One of the all time best rock albums without a doubt ❤
🎉
Amen Brother 🙏❤💙
Se não for o melhor
This album is so good and so popular its trendy to hate on it. I got hooked on it as a kid in the 90s. Every winter my mom would drive my friends and I up to the snow to go snowboarding and we'd listen to Nevermind, The Doors first 3 albums, In Utero, and Disareli Gears to get in the mood to take on the mountain.
I was 31 when this came out, it was “new” music for me then, hard to believe that was 33 years ago🤦🏻♂️… it goes way to fast!
Thanks man. This sounds a lot better than all of the versions on streaming services.
This sounds exactly like when I would BLAST this on my Bose studio speakers. Listening to it was like being in a concert.
I first heard “Lithium “ on my Bose car speakers when it played on the local college radio station. I fell in love with Nirvana immediately !!!!!!
Tape saturation does magical things...
Though i was born one day after Kurt’s death i always feel very close to Nirvana.
and this album is my most favorite one. ☺️
His music is timeless and will be touching lives for A VERY LONG TIME.
Memories will always remain in this song and time.
Un son inattendu !🎸🪕mes 25🕯️ j'ai beaucoup aimé❤, "et j'aime encore"👍
Biggest difference to me seems that the kick and bass seems to be more prominent than the digital versions/remasters. I've only heard CD/digital versions of this album, I always thought it sounded a bit sterile, but on cassette with the added warmth it seems to be better suited
Nirvana is the only band that I absolutely love every album. Once I play one of their album there's no stopping it until the end!!
I still have cassette tapes and still listen to them and vinyl and VHS player. Can't go wrong with old stuff . Apart from needing so much room
Thx for upload😄
Thank you for putting this out ❤ born in 87 and now hooked on this tape. Feelings flowing, tears dropping, touched by the rawness ❤️🔥
🎉
I want my Walkman back😊!!!
Un son plus organique. Je comprends maintenant pourquoi je ne retrouve pas le son de mon adolescence.
i cant imagine just sitting in 1991 and this masterpiece dropping, music was so great back then holy fck
Look at the list of hard rock/metal albums that came out during the 3 months before and after this album. Greatest period in music IMO. Saw it first hand as it came out, mind blown each time.
@@bobbyjones1055 Which bands are you referring to in your comment? I remember listening Metallica's black album and ac/dc that I can't remember the album name. I was barely a teenager at this time and I was a rebel with some friends at school. Great memories! Thanks for the sharing.
The tape gives the chorus effect on the guitar a little extra warble. Chef’s kiss!
I remember when I was younger listening to this whole album on repeat along with many others😏
I remember buying the cassette a few days after it released. I played it in my Walkman and home stero until the tape snapped. I fixed it with scotch tape and re recorded a back up copy to use, it lasted another 7 or so years, then bought the cd off a friend for $1!!! I still have the cd.
Please read, WHERE THE DESERT MARIGOLDS BLOOM TWICE A YEAR. By Thomas C. Stuhr
On paperback. On kdp. Very punk rock.
what’s the book about? i’d like to read it
Hell yeah. It's $1.50 on Kindle
i love it even more than the remastered version but territorial pissings sounds so weird
true
It's pitched down, idk if that's a slower tape speed or something
Cassette players originally only played one side at a time. Eventually the technology developed to include an auto-reverse mechanism that would switch to the other side of the tape without having to physically remove and flip the tape over. With continuous play this mechanism would put strain on the tape and effect the sound quality of songs at the end of side 1 and more noticeably the beginning of side 2.
@@lastvestiges thats cool i didn't know that
THANK YOU for preservation of such wonderful music in it's original sounds
This is how I remember this album sounding. Thanks for uploading this. Most of the remastered versions of the iconic grunge rock albums from the 90s do not capture the energy these songs are meant to have.
the bitrate increase is wild, direct cassette rips have so much more bass
this is an amazing playlist to work to🖤! thanks man😁
Este para mi el mejor album de nirvana y este año se cumplen 30 años que ya no esta entre nosotros kurt todavia no se puede creer era un grande de la musica pero el legado que dejo pasaran generaciones y siempre esta vivo ❤❤❤❤
Donde esta el diablo ese....? para donde se fue?
Este álbum es una obra maestra.
Damn this is amazing quality!
Still love it 2024
What a sound, what a quality, what a masterpiece.........! I am listening the whole album the second time this week since i found this version!! Thank you, this is a journey to my youth
Genau das Bro❤
❤
Thanks a lot for the amazing work done ❤❤❤
Wow. Great quality. I used to have the cassette but not anymore. Very nostalgic 🤘
I think flanger effects on this tape just sound magical😇
greetings from indonesia....i was listening Nirvana since 1996- now....thanks for upload cassette version...this is the best than new version which cutted the first intro..
I love Mexico 🇲🇽
Mexico loves ya back baby!
I love Austria 😂
Kurt and I share a birthday he died when i was just 3 years old but growing up with young parents I grew up listening to Nirvana probably more than any other band now I'm older than Kurt ever lived to be and there is something seriously tragic about that.
I feel you. I grew up listening mostly to nirvana and green day, and they both inspired me to pick up the guitar, because they weren't guys who were getting 'technical' in their playing. I remember learning territorial pissings and when I played along to it for the first time, I had goosebumps. Kurt was a simple guy and wrote simple songs that sounded oh so dynamic. I was born after his time. But it's amazing how well I connect with his lyrics. Proves their music stood the test of time. RIP Kurdt. You'll be missed
Afortunado de haber tenido uno y vivir esa época !! Gracias por esto amigo !
Amazing sound, thanks for that man.
I remember when my brother got this Cassette. It was like magic in a box. Kurt is one of the most intelligent song writers of the last 40 years. He knew how to grab you and pull you in, then swing you around and make you feel so much.
Read his journal if ya wanna get that feeling again 30 years after he left this world. And still blowing my mind. Whole nutha level!
I love cassette tapes. It brings me back into my youth!
Double YA'
Wish i was there im still in my youth listening to nirvana through youtube lol. I still have cds tho
@@therobloxexplorer1249 In those days, we called these Nirvana-Streams "MTV" or "VIVA" and a .mp3 (better flac) was on those fucking casette tapes ⚠
If this is really a casette, it sounds extremely beautiful, thank you!
woooww this is so nostalgic it sounds exactly how i remember it sounded, thanks for posting
I love this record, ESPECIALLY on cassette tape! I'm immensely happy that someone took the time to put it up in this format. The aggression and distortion on this album is perfect for cassette.
Absolutely beautiful
I heard smells like teen spirit and asked my grandma if she would get the cassette tape for me. I didn’t know it was called nevermind yet so I said just ask the person working there for smells like teen spirit. Well she went in alright and straight up asked dude if he had smells like peanut butter. I wish I was there to see the look on his face.
30 years ago today the world lost someone very special! 3 days from now 30 years ago I remember hearing the news in my guitar players VW Bug! We pulled over and sobbed. The next 3 days my speakers belong to Nirvana!
Amazing, thanks for loading this. We lived on tapes in the 80's and 90's
it’s funny how this is actually nostalgic- this is the way I remember it.
"Nirvana's 'Nevermind' is an iconic masterpiece that revolutionized the music industry and left an indelible mark on generations to come. With its raw energy, haunting melodies, and deeply introspective lyrics, this album transcends mere musicality to become a cultural phenomenon. From the anthemic 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' to the haunting 'Come As You Are,' each track is a testament to the band's unparalleled talent and Kurt Cobain's enigmatic presence. 'Nevermind' not only defined a genre but also spoke to the disillusioned youth of its time, capturing the angst and uncertainty of a generation. Its enduring legacy is a testament to its timeless relevance and unparalleled influence on alternative music."
What you said ! #Xactly
Un groupe que même certains, de nos jeunes écoutent, c'est indémodable !!
Ma jeunesse.... C'est toujours aussi bon d'écouter
Merci pour le partage
Suena espectacular gracias geniiioooo❤!!!
