AlexH. Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 http://www.subpop.com/channel/blog/nirvanas_bleach_turns_20_re_issue_out_november_3rd: BLEACH WILL BE RE-ISSUED, RE-MASTERED WITH ADDED UNRELEASED LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM 1990 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.

burntwolf Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 about time this got remastered and re-released. i will get it. hopefully they didn't mess up the remastering. it doesn't say if it will be the 13-track version w/ the Blew EP on it though. i have one of those on white vinyl. it was a UK reissue. edit: looks like it is if the CD and LP trackslitings are the same.

sickteen Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Interesting, was hoping they would of added some demos, and out takes that were from the Bleach sessions. Oh well, legendary band. I always felt Nirvana would of been a perfect 1977 Bay Area punk band. Their musical craftsmanship, politics, and aesthetics would of fit in well with the creative energy and culture developing in 77. I could of easily seen a punk show flyer that read - Playing at the Mabuhay tonight for $2.00 The Avengers, Nirvana, The Nuns, and Screamers!!

suburbanargyle Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I get that picture if you are talking about Elvis Costello with his reissues upon reissues, but not this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
