I love the effort the person running this channel is going through to prove that cassettes actually sound amazing

This sounds way better than the remastered editions.

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 KZfaq 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.

People underestimate how good analog can really sound when it's preserved. This is so warm and full feeling with a crazy punch.

classic album! Love to hear it every time. Anyone from 2024?

as someone who owns nirvana's nevermind on cassette, i can confirm this is what it sounds like

Alguém ouvindo em 2024?

this sounds just like i remember it’s supposed to :) thanks a lot dude!

dude why is this so much better than i've ever heard this song holy shit

Man the bassline in Lithium is absolute 🔥🔥🔥

I actually bought this on cassette at the record shop when I was 12. Still got it somewhere. Thanks for uploading.

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

Appreciate all the kind comments. Cassette ain't dead!!

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.

Still have the original cassette at home--this, In Utero, Unplugged, and bunch others. Dammit, this reminds me of great times. Thanks for uploading this!

Beautiful. For whatever reason as a kid even though I owned both cd and cassette I found myself still making mix tapes from my Nirvana cds 😂

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.

I was 22 when this came out. Better than any remaster. Raw and gritty love it!!!❤ RIP KURT

This is like a personal time-machine to 1992 for me.

It's the perfect combination of high quality audio with the lower quality bits that make it really sound like grunge

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

Happy birthday, dear Kurt

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

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!

This cassette audio kicks ass. Raw and full of Bass, just the way I like it.

Listening to this on a bus in East Sussex having come back from a cancer check. Sounds amazing

I love Nirvana so such bro thanks for making this

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.

This sounds way better than other versions. It has that sound!!!! I can't explain it.

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!!!

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.

KZfaq stains the sound, but you can still hear how fine that casette mix sounds. I rediscovered this album after obtaining a tape from 91

Thank you for putting this out ❤ born in 87 and now hooked on this tape. Feelings flowing, tears dropping, touched by the rawness ❤️‍🔥

Every time I here the SLTS intro i have to stop what I'm doing to appreciate it. It still catches me off guard, and I'm still in awe, 30+ years later

Omg the bassssssssss 🤤

this was amazing. listened thru and thru

The way I first heard it, the way I’ll always hear it

Absolute masterpiece of an album, and this is coming from a NYC hip hop head, love this album!

This is how I first heard the band on tape not cd. The great days.

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 KZfaq's compression. Signal sounds a bit hot, but it could just be my phone's speakers causing the distortion. Thank you for posting this.

This is how i listend to it. I know that sounds crazy, but it does sound different. And super nostalgic.

Omg thank you for the chapters! ❤

まさに自分の青春の曲♪ 中学1年の時に　友達のお兄さんから聞けと言われて聞いたのを30年経った今でもよーく覚えてる。　いい曲って何年経っても　やっぱいい曲だわ👍👍✨

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

Thanks man. This sounds a lot better than all of the versions on streaming services.

the drumming in "in bloom" is SO good.

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!

The album cover reveals the root of Cobain's despair : MONEY ......

This is how NIRVANA should sound. Thank you Robert.

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 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.

7, 8, and 9 of the list is such a good trio back to back so enjoyable

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. ☺️

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

i love it even more than the remastered version but territorial pissings sounds so weird

Tape saturation does magical things...

Memories will always remain in this song and time.

듣자마자 어마어마한 차이를 느꼈습니다.. 바로 플레이리스트로 가져가겠습니다. 감사합니다 형님..🥲🥲

One of the all time best rock albums without a doubt ❤

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!!

Un son inattendu !🎸🪕mes 25🕯️ j'ai beaucoup aimé❤, "et j'aime encore"👍

THANK YOU for preservation of such wonderful music in it's original sounds

it’s funny how this is actually nostalgic- this is the way I remember it.

I’m sorry for the folks that won’t be able to experience doing Sunday chores listening to grunge and metal on a Walkman. What a great time!

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 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!

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

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.

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 !!!!!!

Wow. Great quality. I used to have the cassette but not anymore. Very nostalgic 🤘

Thx for upload😄

The tape gives the chorus effect on the guitar a little extra warble. Chef’s kiss!

Спасибо группе Nirvana, что были с нами!!!🤗🎼🎸🥁😔❤❤❤❤❤ (Россия, город Новосибирск 9,1,24 год!) Автору за загрузку лайк!!!

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..

This is the way this album was meant to be heard. Punk Rock is a cassette tape genre.

I want my Walkman back😊!!!

Afortunado de haber tenido uno y vivir esa época !! Gracias por esto amigo !

i cant imagine just sitting in 1991 and this masterpiece dropping, music was so great back then holy fck

I remember when I was younger listening to this whole album on repeat along with many others😏

the bitrate increase is wild, direct cassette rips have so much more bass

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.

Amazing, thanks for loading this. We lived on tapes in the 80's and 90's

I love cassette tapes. It brings me back into my youth!

this is an amazing playlist to work to🖤! thanks man😁

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

The only thing that comes close to this kind of experience is like when you have the cassette and you wear it so thin that it splits. And then you get a new copy on cassette. No different than replacing old vinyl. Not only does it hold true in that regard, but the pure analog start to finish process used for this produces it's own majesty in and of itself. Thank you so much for posting this.

Thanks a lot for the amazing work done ❤❤❤

I think flanger effects on this tape just sound magical😇

i'd forgotten how good this album once sounded until i heard it on cassette again

Amazing sound, thanks for that man.

I had this on a burnt CD in 2001. I grew up listening to the beatles and springsten by virtue of my father but I remember when I heard this it totally blew my mind and changed everything.

If this is really a casette, it sounds extremely beautiful, thank you!

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.

woooww this is so nostalgic it sounds exactly how i remember it sounded, thanks for posting

I still have my original cassette copy from 1992. Thanks for this upload

Damn this is amazing quality!

Thanks. I still have my mums cassette of NM from 30 years ago now. She recorded it herself :)

I was born in 91 and I still remember the cassettes sounding better. Thank you for this. I didn't realize I needed it until I started listening this morning.

"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."
