Sub Pop has scanned and uploaded to their Tumblr a copy of Nirvana's initial record contract, an endearingly simple little piece of paper. The two-year agreement, for three full albums, gets especially good when you see how much money Sub Pop had to pay for Nirvana for its initial one-year term advance: a whopping $600.

After their debut album Bleach was released, Nirvana was upstreamed to the bigger DGC Records, which released Nevermind and In Utero. "Six hundred bucks well spent-- not that we had it at the time," Sub Pop write on Tumblr.
