sub pop to re release bleach
 

A.K.A. "Give us more money on a band that we treated like shit and only paid attention when they got big!" Yes?

Good deal.
I'll grab the vinyl.

no.

no. [2]

Why give them money you can give to the little guy?

Remastering the record would ruin any charm the album originally had, so there goes that.

The only interesting thing they could have included would have been the early demos or live performances while the songs were in working phases, so that's out too.

The live set might be good, as during 1990 they really started to get their stuff down, but this is such a cash grab attempt yet again from Sub Pop. The album doesn't need to be remastered or re-issued; The original works fine enough, and Nirvana shows are extremely easy to find. I still don't see where so many get this genius aura from Bleach... I think it's just your typical Sub Pop grunge rock from the time period, that many bands were doing better and many bands would do better.

i wont get it. well maybe in a few years oe something.

See, I've always thought that Bleach sounded like a pile of shite. I'm not sure if a re-mastering will fix that, but it's definitely worth a bash. I know a lot of people like that record for its sound, and I'm sure Subpop'll be very heavily scrutinised when it comes out (so a proper tidy up is unlikely), but production-wise the record is definitely a 'could do better'.

Obviously, I'll edit this post if someone like Terminal Pharmacy turns up and says 'you're talking complete bollocks, prick'.

Because I'm a sucker and I enjoy the majority of Sup Pop's output.

That cheaper-than-shit awful production is what I love about Bleach. If Albini had recorded In Utero in a similar way, that shit would have been glorious. Some music benefits from the sound of a drycleaner.

I'm talking complete bollocks.

in utero on CS or vinyl = one of the best production jobs ever

in utero on cd = crap

even recording a fucking mp3 of in utero onto a CS is better than the cd version

Can they make it triple sided?

You have a triangular record player, do you?

Although I like this album, I'm not very interrested in this reissue... The live bonus CD might be good but I wait to see the remastered tracks before I buy it.

Didn't realize it had never been un-released. I've seen this new in CD and record bins for years and years.

right to be fair - bleach's production could concievably be made better, but i don't really care enough to see this happen - the original endino production is cool. I'm surprised sub pop didnt do this sooner, ive been expecting it for years now.

As for the live show - this is cool but there are still a load of unreleased tracks from the bleach era that should also be included - chad channing version of hairspray queen - potentially more 4 track stuff and rehearsal stuff.

There is a radio show from 87 - one or 2 tracks are on the boxset - i have the rest on a cdr somewhere, it's cool. There's also that DVDR show in a record store with Jason Everman. There's fecal matter and some other cool shows from this era. There's also a compilation that some of the LiveNirvana guys made, I can't remember what its called but it basically has all the unreleased stuff that wasn't on the box set.

Someone, maybe me if i can be bothered i'll make a thread on LN about it - should make a companion Bleach era torrent of FLAC files of all the good stuff from the Bleach era - best songs from all the surfaced recordings and all the stuff I already mentioned - then compile a fan booklet to accompany it - pdf file of photos/interviews/fanzine shit - all the stuff the fans have aqquired over the years and put online - just wrap it all up.

I started trying to do a project like this for the In Utero era of the band aswell, made a load of artwork and started to compile compilations of the best live stuff but never finished it.

One rarity I was hoping would be on the reissue: Their track from a kiss cover album. Only track with Jason Everman.

In any case, I'll be preordering the vinyl, that first run white pressing gets at the colelctor in me. Plus I'm a nirvana fanatic.

ah yes do you love me?

the worst/best nirvana track ever

Yeah, I've never heard it, I saw that compilation at amoeba but didn't want to spend $35 on it for, potentially, only one track.

Cool, I'll get it.

listen to it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmcba34GMtg

i dont see the point in reduxing bleach...if its remastered its gonna sound shittier than it did anyway in the first place (i mean that in a good way) the shittyness of that record is its best quality...that and negative creep.... but its an album of the time and in that time and in that shitty cheapshit room recording...the way kids record in their mama basement on a crappy tapedeck...its punkrock..its not universal reduxed the fuck out of it flood gates and massive butch vig (i was in garbadge you know) yeah we do butch and may it follow you to your grave you semi indie wanna be who really listens to bon jovi all the time ...gah! politics.... its all shit....

im off to douse my head in the new quadruple double vinyl copy cd burn of the last green river album, the one with the holographic sleeve and official mark arm puike rings on the insert......

I have no use for rehashed albums. Why would I buy songs that I already have. "and the money l roll right in"

If I have the original, especially on vinyl, I rarely buy a rehash. The extra tracks are hardly ever worth the extra price, and the remastering often seems pointless.

a mate has the green (or pink) vinyl signed by kurt and chris when they played in cork with sy in 1990...... pointless post but i thought id share it.

yr all negative creeps
yr all negative creeps
yr all negative creeps and NOT stoned.....

Glad to see most people here can see this for what it is a cheap nostalgia cash in.P1:Oh whats that bleach turned 20? Lets re-release it with no new material or extra tracks. P2:yea but wont fans be pissed, we have plenty of stuff to make this re-issue great. P1:*slap You idiot nirvana is our eternal cash cow we need to milk it for every drop its worth and stick to our plan of releasing one never heard track every 10 yrs by the band so the fans will keep coming back for more. P2:Haha yea those morons will eat up anything nirvana related, that reminds how are we doing with those nirvana sneakers?

I'd get it if it weren't remastered. We all know it's gonna be compressed to hell and sound like shit, even on vinyl. Might as well just get the original, I'm sure I can find it cheaper.

Most of the re-ussies(mudhoney, vaselines and red red meat) were golden to be honest but no this one would be a gaint peice of crap.

“Distressed in the way Kurt Cobain wore them, the shoes provide a rarely seen glimpse into the head of this musical and lyrical genius with sketches that display his hopes, dreams and lyrics from amazing songs such as Come As You Are.”

To further pay tribute to the late singer, three of the Converse shoes that Cobain was often seen wearing will be reflected in the new collection which includes versions of Chuck Taylor All Star, Jack Purcell and One Star shoes. To make the collection even more unique, they’ll have wear and fray detailing and Kurt Cobain’s signature subtly embroidered on the shoe’s outer.
The shoes will be made available in black and white versions and should retail for around $50 – $65.

keep on whoring him out

Hey Courtney has to pay for food somehow.

(and by food I mean crack)

I will be in about an hour and a half:)

SG is one hour ahead o me

HELLS YES!

sub-pop and miss courtney are a bunch of suckers!!!

i hope kurt will resurrect one day just for smashing his guitar on their heads (i know this will never happens but i'll enjoy it so much)

dammit they stole my idea, well i still got the kurt cobain wig to fall back on.
