Twenty years after its initial release, Nirvana’s Nevermind will be reissued in a massive Super Deluxe Edition. Available September 19 (in the U.K.) and September 20 (North America), the 4-CD/1-DVD set will include previously unreleased recordings, rarities, b-sides, BBC radio appearances, alternative mixes, rare live recordings and an unreleased concert in its entirety on the DVD. Exact details of these extras are yet to be revealed.
Although a slow-seller on release, Nevermind has since sold more than 30 million copies, and the editors, writers and readers at Gibson.com recently voted Nevermind the greatest album of the 1990s. Produced by Butch Vig, it was Nirvana’s second studio album and the first by the iconic trio of the late Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and (now Foo Fighters mainman) Dave Grohl.
According to a press release, the 20th anniversary of Nevermind “will be marked throughout the year, with various events and releases.”

The Revisited cast of performers includes two of the original CCR members, Doug “Cosmo” Clifford (drums) and bassist, Stuart Cook. So, you got the beat and the bass backbone from the ‘60s and ‘70s harnessed to Kurt Griffey on lead guitar, Steve Gunner stationed at his Korg Triton keyboard and the CCR lead vocals by John Tristao, who’s got the grit and the timbre to make the rafters shake. As expected, once CCR unleashed the first few chords of the first CCR hit of the night, “Born on a Bayou”, the crowd forgot about the heat and dug in and sang along with abandon.
