{"product_id":"nirvana-bleach-vinyl-lp","title":"Nirvana – Bleach (Vinyl LP)","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in June 1989, \u003cem\u003eBleach\u003c\/em\u003e is the debut studio album from American rock band \u003cstrong\u003eNirvana\u003c\/strong\u003e and a landmark recording in the development of Seattle's grunge movement. Before their worldwide breakthrough with \u003cem\u003eNevermind\u003c\/em\u003e, Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and drummer Chad Channing were creating a raw, uncompromising sound that drew from punk rock, heavy metal and underground alternative music. Released through independent label Sub Pop, \u003cem\u003eBleach\u003c\/em\u003e captures the band at their earliest and most abrasive, combining distorted guitars, pounding rhythms and Cobain's unmistakable vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album opens with \u003cem\u003eBlew\u003c\/em\u003e, establishing its heavy, sludgy atmosphere through a powerful bassline and explosive guitar work. \u003cem\u003eFloyd the Barber\u003c\/em\u003e follows with dark humour and unsettling storytelling, while \u003cem\u003eAbout a Girl\u003c\/em\u003e reveals Cobain's gift for memorable melodies beneath the band's aggressive sound. \u003cem\u003eSchool\u003c\/em\u003e delivers a ferocious burst of punk-influenced energy, followed by the hypnotic riffs of \u003cem\u003eLove Buzz\u003c\/em\u003e, Nirvana's distinctive cover of a song originally recorded by Dutch rock band Shocking Blue. \u003cem\u003ePaper Cuts\u003c\/em\u003e introduces a darker atmosphere before the confrontational \u003cem\u003eNegative Creep\u003c\/em\u003e closes the first side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the second side, \u003cem\u003eScoff\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSwap Meet\u003c\/em\u003e combine heavy guitar riffs with Cobain's expressive vocals, while \u003cem\u003eMr. Moustache\u003c\/em\u003e introduces a faster, punk-inspired rhythm. \u003cem\u003eSifting\u003c\/em\u003e explores a brooding, slow-burning arrangement that reflects the band's early heavy rock influences. This remastered edition also includes \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBig Cheese\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDowner\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, two additional tracks that expand the original 1989 album sequence and provide further insight into Nirvana's early sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by \u003cstrong\u003eJack Endino\u003c\/strong\u003e and recorded primarily at Reciprocal Recording in Seattle, \u003cem\u003eBleach\u003c\/em\u003e was created on a famously modest budget of approximately US$600. Its stripped-back production and uncompromising performances became central to its underground appeal. While Chad Channing performs drums on most of the record, early Nirvana drummer Dale Crover also contributed to the sessions. The album helped establish Nirvana's reputation within the Pacific Northwest alternative rock scene and laid the groundwork for their subsequent international success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough \u003cem\u003eBleach\u003c\/em\u003e initially reached a relatively small audience, its reputation grew enormously following Nirvana's rise to fame in the early 1990s. Today, the album is regarded as an essential document of early grunge, showcasing the musical influences, songwriting instincts and raw energy that would shape one of the most influential rock bands of their generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eSub Pop remastered vinyl edition\u003c\/strong\u003e, first issued in 2011, presents \u003cem\u003eBleach\u003c\/em\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003eblack vinyl LP\u003c\/strong\u003e, featuring all thirteen remastered tracks across two sides.
