Nevermind It's an Interview is the only officially released interview CD of Americangrunge bandNirvana. It was apromotional release and was never commercially available.[1]
Released in limited-edition form worldwide in 1992 byGeffen Records, written, produced and engineered atWFNX Boston byKurt St. Thomas and Troy Smith,[1] (authors ofNirvana: The Chosen Rejects, (St. Martin's Press, 2004).[2] The original interview sessions were recorded by St. Thomas the night of Nirvana's first appearance onNBC'sSaturday Night Live in 1992.[1] It contains over an hour of audio interview with live and studio recordings.[3] The reason for its production was for radio stations world-wide to have a Nirvana interview to play because at that time the band was so popular that it was not possible for them to visit all the radio stations that were playing their music.[1] Copies of the CD are rare and have become collector's items.[1]
In 1996, it was released as part of a limited edition promotional CD box set in Australia for promotion of Nirvana's live album,From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah. The box set was limited to 3,000 copies.[4]
