Nirvana's "Nevermind" gets 20th anniversary revamp

Released on September 24, 1991, Nirvana's sophomore album simply changed the game and in the process elevated Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl from a cult band to a generational spokesmen.
Rising to No.1 by year's end and ultimately selling over 30 million copies worldwide, "Nevermind" - with the lead single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - would come to be much more than one of the most successful and influential albums of its or any era.
Now on the occasion of "Nevermind's" 20th anniversary, Universal Music is putting out a multi-CD and DVD set featuring previously unreleased recordings and live performances.
Nirvana was considered the "flagship band of Generation X", and frontman Cobain found himself reluctantly anointed by the media as the generation's "spokesman."
On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle, the victim of what was officially ruled a suicide by a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.
The circumstances of his death have long been a topic of public fascination and debate.
