apparently whichever hapless Chrysalis A&R person who signed them was unable to work that one out. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he or she explained that particular decision.

Some of these weren’t really Nirvana gold rush “cash-in” albums; they were on pseudo-indies distributed by majors, etc. (as I’m sure is pointed out somewhere in the thread).

Nirvana and "Nevermind" get way too much credit for their influnce.
