NIRVANA On Track to Have Biggest Boxed Set Of All Time

November 22, 2004

Billboard magazine is reporting that many retailers are excited about the NIRVANA boxed set, "With the Lights Out", which comes out Nov. 23.

The defunct grunge trio's Geffen Records collection "could be the biggest boxed set of all time," says Bryan Everitt, director of music purchasing for Amarillo, Texas-based Hastings Entertainment. "I don't think there is a more dedicated fan than the NIRVANA fan."

Musicland senior music buyer Scott Faragher also smells a hit.

"NIRVANA's boxed set will be the most sought-after boxed set this year," he says. "It will appeal to the original NIRVANA fan and also (to) the legions of new alternative rock fans, since NIRVANA, to most people, was the beginning of the genre."

"Stocking stuffer" is what Jerry Kamiler, music divisional director of purchasing for Trans World Entertainment, is thinking, although he suspects many people will buy it for themselves. "Everybody who ever bought a NIRVANA album, who is a fan, will want this. Those people want this music. The key is its unreleased material, and the DVD is very interesting." Read more.
