Nirvana in Internet
Disenchanted with Sub Pop and with the Smart Studios sessions generating interest, Nirvana decided to look for a deal with a major record label.
Following repeated recommendations by Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon, Nirvana signed to DGC Records in 1990.
The band subsequently began recording its first major label album, Nevermind.
They were offered a number of producers to choose from, but ultimately held out for Butch Vig.
Rather than recording at Vig's Madison studio as they had in 1990, they shifted to Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California.
For two months, the band worked through a variety of songs in their catalog.
Some of the songs, including In Bloom and Breed, had been in the band's repertoire for years, while others, including On a Plain and Stay Away, lacked finished lyrics until mid-way through the recording process.
After the recording sessions were completed, Vig and the band set out to mix the album.
However, the recording sessions had run behind schedule and the resulting mixes were deemed unsatisfactory.
Slayer mixer Andy Wallace was brought in to create the final mix.
After the album's release members of Nirvana expressed dissatisfaction with the polished sound the mixer had given Nevermind.
Initially, DGC Records was hoping to sell 250,000 copies of Nevermind, which was the same level they had achieved with Sonic Youth's Goo.
However, the album's first single Smells Like Teen Spirit quickly gained momentum, thanks in part to significant airplay of the song's music video on MTV.
As they toured Europe during late 1991, the band found that the shows were dangerously oversold, that television crews were becoming a constant presence onstage, and that Smells Like Teen Spirit was almost omnipresent on radio and music television.
By Christmas 1991, Nevermind was selling 400,000 copies a week in the US.
On January 11, 1992, the album reached number one on the Billboard album charts, replacing Michael Jackson's album Dangerous.
The album also topped the charts in numerous countries worldwide.
The month Nevermind reached number one, Billboard proclaimed, Nirvana is that rare band that has everything: critical acclaim, industry respect, pop radio appeal, and a rock-solid college/alternative base. (*) |
