Description:

Original UK 1992 limited edition picture disc release of In Bloom by Nirvana, issued by Geffen Records at the height of the band’s breakthrough success. This collectible edition features the striking Nevermind-era imagery and was produced in smaller quantities than the standard 12" formats, making surviving examples particularly desirable for collectors of early ’90s rock and grunge memorabilia.

The A-side contains the LP version of In Bloom, one of the signature tracks from Nevermind, with Kurt Cobain’s writing and the unmistakable production from Butch Vig and the band. The B-side includes two live recordings: Sliver and Polly, both engineered by Andy Wallace. These tracks offer a rawer, more immediate glimpse of Nirvana’s live sound from the era, contrasting with the polished studio production on the main track.

This picture disc was typically sold in a clear plastic sleeve without a printed cover, consistent with many limited-edition early ’90s UK picture disc releases. Its strong visual appeal makes it ideal for display as well as a sought-after item for fans of Nirvana and collectors of grunge-era vinyl.
