Nirvana's 'Bleach' Turns 20, New Live Recording Coming

Nirvana's first full-length album, "Bleach," is getting a deluxe reissue treatment on the 20th anniversary of its release, the band's original label home, Sub Pop, announced today. The special edition will include a previously unreleased live performance, along with a newly remastered version of the original album and a collection of previously unseen photos of the band. The deluxe package is set for release on Nov. 3.

"Bleach," the band's first album and its only full-length on Sub Pop, was recorded in December, 1988 and January, 1989 and was released in June of 1989. After initially selling more than 40,000 copies and starting the group's ascension to worldwide renown, the album went on to sell more than 1.7 million copies in the United States alone, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The reissue will include a complete live recording of the band's Feb. 9, 1990 show at the Pine Street Theatre in Portland, Ore. The 11-song show includes a cover of the Vaseline's "Molly's Lips," and has been remixed from the original tapes by "Bleach" producer Jack Endino (who also oversaw the remastering of the original album for the new edition).

The remastered "Bleach" will be released as a single CD and a double LP, pressed on 180 gram white vinyl. More details about the release and and pre-order information can be found on subpop.com.

SOLD!

GREAT news! Very excited about this!

But I have that Nirvana/Fluid 7" that had "Molly's Lips" live from that show. Didn't think it sounded too hot. Hopefully the remix will be a big improvement.

riotinmyskull · 08-15-09, 08:29 PM

really looking forward to the bonus live disc

Hollowgen · 08-16-09, 05:33 PM

interested simply for the live disc.... not that the LP actually needs a remaster, but OK.

Chuck Finlay · 08-16-09, 09:48 PM

The Vaselines cover is definitly a must

gerrythedon · 08-16-09, 09:57 PM

Can't wait to hear the album sound better especially BLEW, FLOYD THE BARBER, PAPER CUTS, NEGATIVE CREEP, & BIG CHEESE.

StatMan79 · 08-17-09, 02:20 AM

I'm very curious to hear a remastered version of this.

By the way: Holy shit, 20 years?!

Robot Rock · 08-17-09, 02:29 AM

Bleach has been in my cd player for a while now. It doesn't need to be remastered at all. This would probably be a good time to get the vinyl version though. I need more punk vinyl.

Yeah... I remember the day I first put the needle down on "Blew" when "Bleach" first came in to the radio station I worked for. Seems like yesterday!

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 here 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 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 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 says it's a single cd but has 25 tracks. The live show isn't just for the LP is it?

No, the CD will have the live show as well, although I have an educated guess that any between song banter or downtime will be edited out to make it fit onto one disc....the album itself is just under 43 minutes long, so that only leaves about 37 minutes for the concert given a 80 minute CD maximum length....the bootleg of this concert runs about 38 minutes as is, however it is missing the first song "School", so it will be interesting to see just what they do to this show to make it fit the CD time constraints....

WMAangel · 11-03-09, 06:56 PM

Anyone else pick this up today besides me?
Target has it for only $9.99, best price I saw....Best Buy has it on the website for $11.99, but oddly enough in-store it was $13.99....

Yeah had to tell the guy working in the music section about that after showing him on the customer kiosk, then had to go to customer service to get my money back.

naitram · 11-07-09, 08:23 AM

So how does it sound compared to the original?

AnonomusBob15 · 11-07-09, 10:36 PM

It's not night/day, just noticed a boost in fidelity, but i'm not really good at the subject. If it's your main motivation to purchase the disc (and if you already have it), i'd pass.

I picked it up for the live show, which, in my opinion, sounds better than Reading, though not quite as good of a setlist.
