LABEL: Sub PopVINYL RELEASE DATE: 11/3/2009ALBUM RELEASE DATE: 1989VARIANT: 2CD Marking the 20th Anniversary of Nirvana’s debut album, Sub Pop re-issued the Platinum Certified Bleach on November 3, 2009. 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 1991 sophomore 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 includes 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 16-page LP booklet which includes candid photos of the band not previously released to the public is also included in this deluxe edition.Track list Blew Floyd the Barber About a Girl School Love Buzz Paper Cuts Negative Creep Scoff Swap Meet Mr. Moustache Sifting Big Cheese Downer Intro (live) School (live) Floyd the Barber (live) Dive (live) Love Buzz (live) Spank Thru (live) Molly's Lips (live) Sappy (live) Scoff (live) About a Girl (live) Been a Son (live) Blew (live)
