Ultra rare Kurt Cobain-owned fan mail. This letter from “Rich” was sent on September 27th 1990 from England and is addressed to Nirvana, as per the mailing address provided on the back cover of Bleach.

The envelope has dirt on it and displays what seems to be Kurt Cobain’s footprint. For reference, please see the photo of his shoe sole as taken on March 8th 1991 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, Canada (photo by Charles Peterson).

In the letter, Rich makes a joke about Nirvana possibly stealing Dan Peters, Mudhoney’s drummer. Peters recorded the drums for the Sliver single but ended up playing only one show with Nirvana in September 1990, right before Dave Grohl joined the band.

Rich’s full name and address are redacted in the photo only - the actual letter has the full contact information.

This item was part of an old box of Courtney Love’s things that was abandoned years ago (see my other listings).

The package will include the letter and the envelope. 

About me: Nirvana’s music changed my life - it probably changed yours as well if you’re reading this. I have been collecting items for the last… well, 27 years, and now I feel like it’s time to find a new loving home for some of them. Send me a message if you’re interested or if you’d just like to chat about all things Nirvana/Kurt Cobain. Thank you!
