Story & Background
Despite *Nevermind*'s release under the major label David Geffen Company (DGC), the band remained true to their underground roots, insisting that the album also carry the logo of their original independent label, Sub Pop. This decision was a clear affirmation of their identity and a tribute to the label that had discovered them, but also a strategic move agreed upon to allow Sub Pop to benefit from a major label's distribution and marketing, receiving a share of the sales. The album's stratospheric success caught both labels by surprise, transforming Nirvana from a cult grunge band into a global phenomenon and catalysing the "major label battle" for the subsequent album, *In Utero*, where Sub Pop was no longer involved, marking a definitive transition.
