Nirvana's Bleach is the sound of a revolution being born in a recording studio that cost $606.17. Recorded in December 1988 at Reciprocal Recording with Jack Endino and released on Sub Pop in 1989, it introduced Kurt Cobain's songwriting — raw, heavy, and shot through with unexpected melody — to a world that wasn't yet ready for what would come next. "Blew" opens with a sludgy, hypnotic riff that sets the tone for the whole album — heavier and more overtly punk than Nevermind, but already crackling with the melodic instincts that would change rock music. "About a Girl" is a perfect pop song hiding inside a grunge record, "Negative Creep" is pure cathartic fury, and "School" delivers one of Cobain's most primal vocal performances. Bleach sold 40,000 copies before Nevermind broke — then millions more as the world caught up. Tracklist: 1. Blew 2. Floyd the Barber 3. About a Girl 4. School 5. Love Buzz 6. Paper Cuts 7. Negative Creep 8. Scoff 9. Swap Meet 10. Mr. Moustache 11. Sifting
