Never-before-Released Recordings from Nirvana Heard on 3-CD/1-DVD Box
Set ``With the Lights Out''

Monday November 1, 6:00 am ET

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2004--Geffen/UME is set to
release the much-anticipated 3-CD/1-DVD box set "With The Lights Out"
on November 23, 2004. The box set contains 81 tracks, 68 which were
previously unreleased.

The box set spans Nirvana's entire career, from a recording of Led
Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" at the band's first show in 1987 to solo
acoustic performances from singer-guitarist Kurt Cobain in 1994. "With
The Lights Out" features a 60-page color booklet with rare photos and
liner notes by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and writer Neil Strauss.

The three CDs, arranged largely chronologically, contains home and
rehearsal demos, including for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (whose lyric
"With the lights out" provides the set's title), "Rape Me," "Heart
Shaped Box" and a trio penned by legendary bluesman Leadbelly.

Heard in the 12 previously unreleased solo acoustic tracks are such
gems as "All Apologies," "Lithium" and "Sliver." Six previously
unreleased radio performances range from "Anorexorcist" in 1987 to
"Dumb" in 1991 (two years before it was on 1993's "In Utero"). Along
with the remaining debuts are a handful of earlier issued, though
rare, b-sides and demos, as well as the original Butch Vig mix of
"Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Highlighted on the "With The Lights Out" DVD is a previously
unreleased video of nine songs performed in 1988 at bassist Kris
Novoselic's mother's house in Aberdeen, Washington; the rare "In
Bloom" Sub Pop music video, and 10 never-before-seen live
performances. Noteworthy among them are debut renditions of
"Pennyroyal Tea" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit," both from early 1991.
Also premiering is an unlikely performance of Jacques Brel and Rod
McKuen's "Seasons In The Sun" shot at a Rio de Janeiro studio.

Nirvana debuted on album with 1989's "Bleach" (years later going
platinum), followed by the EP "Blew," each on Seattle-based Sub Pop.
Drummer Dave Grohl joined in fall 1990 and soon after the band signed
to Geffen Records. "Nevermind" (1991), propelled by the platinum Top
10 anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and its landmark music video, hit
#1 and is now 10 times platinum. Up next were the Top 40, platinum
"Incesticide" (1992) and the #1, quintuple platinum "In Utero" (1993).
In April 1994, Cobain committed suicide. Issued posthumously have been
1994's "MTV Unplugged In New York" (#1, quintuple platinum), 1996's
live compilation "From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah" (#1, platinum)
and 2002's "best of" "Nirvana" (#3, platinum).

[Raiden Ninety]

ehm....
allora?

[Jessie]

non ho capito nulla!

[pity]

vabbè, ha postato una notizia, a me personalmente non frega una mazza, ma trovo certamente molto più inutile un post che dice "è allora?".

[zave]

Allora escono 68 inediti dei Nirvana dopo dieci anni di attesa, di cui almeno dieci assolutamente nuovi.
Per i fan direi che è un motivo per morire felici. Perlomeno per il sottoscritto.

[Valiant]

perchè ci hanno messo anche 3 canzoni dei Led?


Ot: bravo Zave, in firma hai messo Terry Pratchett

[Holyman]

perchè ci hanno messo anche 3 canzoni dei Led?

Sono delle Cover, ne ho vista una anche dei Velvet Underground.
