COLLECTION477

Collection 477 sits in the years the underground stopped being underground. Four Nirvana shirts lead it. The best is a green Incesticide, printed for the odds and ends record Cobain only agreed to put out because the label gave him full control of the artwork. The Nevermind and In Utero beside it are both white and both worn thin, flaws throughout, which is what a shirt looks like when somebody actually wore it. Behind them is the scene that made Nirvana possible. An SST Records tee off the label Greg Ginn started because nobody would put out Black Flag, and that went on to release the Minutemen, Husker Du and Sonic Youth. A Dead Kennedys Halloween shirt. A Velvet Underground banana off the Warhol cover. The hip hop is just as early: Eric B. & Rakim's Paid In Full, RUN DMC's Raising Hell, and Bone Thugs on Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. The Grateful Dead turn up eight times, from the 1988 Olympics parody to the 1991 Las Vegas run. 111 pieces. Verified and authenticated one of one originals. When it's gone, it's gone!
