The Guardian article is a worthy read because it expands on what actually happened. I went straight to the '93 source.

What is interesting is the text isn't tainted by references to future technology. It's sort of an anthropological view of the state of music around the time of 'Nevermind' (DGC/Geffin Sep, '91).

The record company, DGC Records (Geffin) wielded enormous power. Read through the artists on these labels: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DGC_Records> and <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DGC_Records>. [0]

Contrast the state of affairs of the early 90's Steve describes to now.
