Our Facebook friend (and former Senior Editor of Spin) Mark Blackwell just dropped us a line and we couldn’t wait to share.
“Hello, I thought you might like this never-before-seen NIRVANA test Polaroid for the October 1993 cover of SPIN magazine. I was Senior Editor of Spin at that time….
Just found it in a box (where it’s been for over 20 years) and…figured it was better to share it with the world than keep it in the box for another 20 years. You can see the creases where the Polaroid was folded to approximate the eventual rectangular cropping of the cover. Photo by Frank W. Ockenfels III.”
