Nirvana - Come As You Are 12" PICTURE DISC LP UK 1992 Limited Edition DGCTP 7 VG+/NM
Up for auction is a true artifact from a seismic shift in music history: the original 1992 UK Limited Edition 12" Picture Disc for Nirvana's iconic single, "Come As You Are." This is more than a record; it's a time capsule from the moment grunge broke, presented in stunning, collector-grade condition.
The Artifact: A Story in Two Sides
Released in February 1992, this single was the crucial follow-up to the cultural atom bomb that was "Smells Like Teen Spirit." It proved that Nirvana's debut on DGC Records, Nevermind, was an album of incredible depth, and it cemented the band's place at the top of the music world. Nevermind famously dethroned Michael Jackson's Dangerous from the #1 spot on the Billboard charts, signaling a changing of the guard and the dawn of the alternative rock era. This record is a physical piece of that revolution.
The track selection on this limited edition picture disc tells the story of Nirvana's dual identity. Side A features the polished, iconic studio version of "Come As You Are," the sound that conquered global airwaves. Side B, however, reveals the band's chaotic, punk-rock soul. It includes the furious, legendary hidden track "Endless, Nameless"—a song born from Kurt Cobain's studio rage—and a raw, blistering live version of "School" recorded on Halloween night in 1991. This single perfectly captures the tension between the global superstars and the raw, uncompromising artists they were.

Component Visual Analysis Highlights Assigned Grade Sleeve (Cover) Original die-cut sleeve with sharp edges. No ring wear or seam splits. Crucially, the original "MANUFACTURED IN GREAT BRITAIN" hype sticker is present and intact. There is only very minor softening to the corners and a slight impression at the top edge, consistent with careful storage. Very Good Plus (VG+) Vinyl (Disc) Stunning. The picture disc is bright and vibrant with a beautiful high gloss. Both sides are exceptionally clean with no visible scratches, scuffs, or marks. The surface suggests it has been played either very few times or with extreme care. This is the desirable black rim variant. Near Mint (NM)Release Information
