Kurt gave this tape to a friend. We’re giving it back to history.
Replica Kurt Cobain Cassette – Devonshire Mixes (1991)
** Limited Edition: Only 4 Exist **
This is a faithfully recreated replica of a personal cassette Kurt Cobain gave to a friend — now resurfaced, restored, and resurrected with reverence.
The tape features early Nevermind mixes from the legendary Devonshire sessions — rawer, rougher versions tracked in March 1991, before the final polish of the album that changed everything.
The doodles on the label? They’re Kurt’s. Hand-drawn on the original and now replicated exactly using a vintage ’90s Bic pen and precision pen-plotting technology. Every line, every loop, every scratch — preserved like a pressed flower from the grunge era.
We tracked down matching vintage cassettes to make sure the physical feel is just as authentic as the sound. This is not just a tape — it’s a time capsule.

These mixes reveal Nevermind before the gloss — uncompressed, unfiltered, and closer to the raw punch Nirvana delivered in the room. It’s like hearing the album in the moment it was becoming itself.
Only four copies of this replica exist. None will be made again.
This is for the collectors who understand the gravity of what this is — and what it meant.
💙 Not a bootleg. Not a reissue. A resurrection.
