Bleach: Deluxe Edition

Description

Marking the 20th Anniversary of Nirvanas debut album, Sub Pop re-issued the Platinum Certified Bleach on November 3, 2009. This expanded CD/double-LP includes a never-before-released live performance, special packaging and the first run of the double-LP was on 180g white vinyl (the first run of the original LP was also on white vinyl, which is totally sold out and no longer available!).

Originally recorded over three sessions with producer Jack Endino at Seattles Reciprocal Recording Studios in December 1988 and January 1989, Bleach was released in June of 89 and remains unequivocally/unsurprisingly Sub Pops 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 Mollys Lips and has been re-mixed from the original tapes by Endino (complete track listing below). A 52-page CD /16-page LP booklet which includes candid photos of the band not previously released to the public is also included in this deluxe edition.
