Never Fade Away Paperback

$85.00

1994 mass-market paperback biography of Kurt Cobain by Dave Thompson, lightly worn with clean pages and tight binding.

Category: Curated

File-Under: #Grunge #PocketBooks

Description

Published in 1994, this biography places Kurt Cobain within the emergence of Pacific Northwest grunge as it moved from regional underground to mainstream circulation. Compiled while Nirvana’s cultural impact was still in motion, it reflects early attempts to contextualize Cobain’s influence for a broad audience. The book includes sixteen pages of black-and-white press photographs documenting the period immediately following Cobain’s death. Books of this period sit alongside zines, press clips, and tour ephemera that formed the first written record of the alternative music shift in the early 1990s.
