Item Description
8x10.75" hardbound yearbook from Aberdeen, WA. Ground zero for the coming wave of Pacific Northwest music can be found in this 1982 Sylvan High School year book. On p.11 Senior Roger E. Osborne better known as King Buzzo the future leader of the Melvins who formed in 1983 can be seen in full color. Flipping to p. 31 a young Kurt Cobain is pictured as part of the Freshman Class of '85 and he is again shown on p. 67 in the group photo of the wrestling team. Cobain joined the team at his father's insistence. Cobain showed skill at the sport but detested the experience and allowed himself to be pinned to upset his father. Book has only light wear w/pages remaining clean and free of writing. Exc. Limited distribution makes this undoubtedly scarce. A fascinating early life artifact featuring the future rock 'n' roll legend.
