Nirvana: “Bleach” - 35 Years On Music from a Lifetime
-
- Music Commentary
"While I did pick this up on CD at some point following the demise of the band in the mid-1990's, my best guess is that it was after the demise of Cobain, and a point at which I had played both “Nevermind” and “In Utero” to death and went back to find this album as a stop gap. I was also eventually gifted this on vinyl by a work colleague, who had a still shrink wrapped second edition vinyl on the Sub Pop label, unopened and unplayed, which he claimed he would never listen to because he didn’t have a turntable. So that was an absolute bonus. Cheers Trent.
One of the problems with re-listening to this album over the past couple of weeks has been that at the same time I have been listening to an album that was released just five days after this, one that got a far greater exposure around the world, one which I knew a lot more of on its entry point to the world, and is a far superior release in every way, shape and form".
On this episode we are going to talk about “Bleach” by Nirvana, the band’s debut studio album released 35 years ago this week, on today’s ‘Barney ties me to the chair, I can't see, I'm really scared’ episode of Music from a Lifetime.
