TVD recently gave away a copy of Nevermind, Nirvana’s breakthrough album, as part of our 10 Weeks of Record Store Day Vinyl Giveaways. This time around, we’re giving away another album featuring the music of the Seattle grunge band, a copy of Incesticide, the compilation album released by the band in 1992.
The album, a collection of band rarities, features live performances, demo recordings, and previously unreleased material. Among the songs on Incesticide are “Hairspray Queen,” “Aneurysm,” and a newer version of “Been a Son.” Also on the album are covers of Devo and The Vaselines, as well as one of my favorite Nirvana songs, “Sliver,” which was originally released as a non-album single in 1990.
Hitting shelves less than two years after the aforementioned Nevermind, Incesticide gives listeners an opportunity to see Nirvana’s origins. While Nevermind has more of a polished sound, Incesticide has noticeably minimal production and captures the stripped down, grunge-tinged sound that defines the band. Notably, the album artwork was painted by lead singer Kurt Cobain himself.
Nirvana is arguably one of the greatest rock trios of all time. If you’re interested in winning a vinyl copy of Incesticide to add to your collection, comment below and tell us another famous musical trio.
I’m going to go with the sharp-dressed men in ZZ Top.
A winner with a North American mailing address will be selected a week from today, on Friday, April 6th.
