Nirvana’s original $600 record contract with Sub Pop appears online.
Label notes drily that the deal was ‘six hundred bucks well spent’
Sub Pop have posted Nirvana‘s original record contract with the label on Tumblr – click here to see the historic document, which is now around 25 years old.
Although the contract states that Nirvana will receive an advance of just $600 for their initial one year term, it also confirms that the band would receive larger advances of $12,000 (£7,650) for the first option year and $24,000 (£15,300) for the second option year.
Steve Albini, the producer of Nirvana‘s polarising 1993 LP recently branded those who criticised ‘In Utero’ upon its release “parasites”. ‘In Utero’ was significantly more raw and abrasive-sounding than ‘Nevermind’, and at the time some fans and critics felt this was a wrong turn for the band – something which evidently hit a nerve with Albini.
