NIRVANA'S PLATINUM DEBUT ALBUM BLEACH TURNS 20

SUB POP RE-ISSUES RE-MASTERED BLEACH WITH ADDED UNRELEASED LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM 1990

Seattle, WA - Marking the 20th Anniversary of Nirvana's debut album, Sub Pop will re-issue the Platinum Certified Bleach on November 3, 2009. This expanded CD/double-LP will include a never-before-released live performance, special packaging and the first run of the double-LP will be on 180g white vinyl (the first run of the original LP was also on white vinyl). Both formats will be available for pre-order at subpop.com leading up to this edition's release.

Originally recorded over three sessions with producer Jack Endino at Seattle's Reciprocal Recording Studios in December 1988 and January 1989, Bleach was released in June of '89 and remains unequivocally/unsurprisingly Sub Pop's very favorite Nirvana full-length. The album initially sold 40,000 copies, but was brought into the international spotlight following the release and worldwide success of their 1991sophomore effort, Nevermind. Subsequently Bleach went on to sell 1.7 million copies in the US alone, according to Nielsen SoundScan. This 20th Anniversary Edition has been re-mastered from the original tapes at Sterling Sound in a session overseen by producer Jack Endino.

This edition will include an unreleased live recording of a complete February 9th, 1990 show at the Pine Street Theatre in Portland, Oregon. The show features performances of "Love Buzz," "About a Girl" and a cover of The Vaselines' song "Molly's Lips" and has been re-mixed from the original tapes by Endino (complete track listing below). A 48-page CD /16-page LP booklet which includes candid photos of the band not previously released to the public will also be included in this deluxe edition.

It is by the wipers. Nirvana also covered return of the rat which is by the wipers originally too.

That's a must purchase for such an awesome fucking show and performance.

i was thinking the same thing.

Then go out and get the Nirvana Reading 92 dvd, post-haste. It's an utterly fantastic performance cementing a spot in the rock n roll pantheon of awesome live shows and shit.

May as well pick up the Bleach re-issue for obvious reasons.


As a sidenote, it's pretty fantastic and also kinda nostalgic in a way to have albums released in such a short time from bands like PJ, AIC, Nirvana...on top of stuff like MG and Them Crooked Vultures releasing albums around the same time. It's a pretty good autumn.

PS. If only Soundgarden could grave us with their esteemed presence once again.
