20th ANNIVERSARY OF NIRVANA’S “NEVERMIND” ALBUM CELEBRATED WITH A DELUXE EDITION IN SEPTEMBER

Nirvana, the trio comprised of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl, hailed originally from a coastal fishing town in Washington and rose to become one of the most influential rock bands in history with irreverence, intense honesty and an overriding passion. The cultural shift Nirvana’s Nevermind initiated was felt instantly on release -- and the profundity and depth of that shift becomes even more apparent when seen through the prism of the two decades of art and music created in its wake.

Released in September of 1991, Nirvana’s Nevermind garnered near-unanimous praise and rose within a few months to the No. 1 slot on Billboard’s U.S. sales chart. Nevermind was propelled to No. 1 across the globe by their young fans worldwide that identified with the band and embraced their anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and its landmark music video. Since then, it has sold more than 30 million albums.

Nirvana changed the course of popular music forever and remains an inspiration to those who have followed.

Today, Universal Music Enterprises is pleased to announce the 4-CD/1-DVD Super Deluxe Edition of Nirvana’s Nevermind available September 19, 2011, in the U.K. and September 20, 2011, in North America. The CDs will include previously unreleased recordings, rarities, b-sides, BBC radio appearances, alternative mixes, rare live recordings and an unreleased concert in its entirety on DVD.

The 20th anniversary of Nirvana will be marked throughout the year, with various events and releases.

how can there be even more unreleased stuff? with some of the garbage they allowed to be released on With The Lights Out, I assumed they were scraping the bottom of the Nirvana barrell.

I'll be very interested in checking out the tracklisting.

Wrong. WTLO sucked because they just grabbed whatever tapes were lying around and stuck them together haphazardly, without doing any research or making any effort to locate original master tapes or anything. They reportedly spent less than an hour looking through Courtney's stash! That's not even enough time to listen and determine what's good!

There is still lots of stuff in the vault including...

- Butch Vig's original mix of "Nevermind"
- Unreleased "Sappy" from "Nevermind" sessions
- 1/1/91 demo session ("missing" when WTLO was put together)
- 4/90 demo session (parts were on WTLO but were taken from cassettes)
- 5/91 boombox demos (mostly unreleased still)
- a few still-unreleased BBC tracks
- their original soundguy's tape collection which has yet to be plundered by Universal
- Courtney's stash which includes god knows what

There should be plenty of stuff left to make a 4-CD set, as long as they search high and low for the original tapes and don't do a half-ass job like with WTLO.

cool. glad I'm wrong on that. cause some of the stuff on WTLO would embarass the hell out of Kurt I'm guessing.

They'll probably be fleshing it out with some cool live stuff. Their soundguy taped lots of shows on cassette and they've been sitting in his house, untouched for almost 20 years. I imagine the discs will be laid out something like this:

CD1) Original Nevermind Remastered
CD2) Nevermind Session Roughs & Outtakes
CD3) Demos, B-Sides & BBC Sessions
CD4) Select Live Performances
DVD) 10-31-91 Seattle

From Rolling Stone, with quotes from Dave. I like what he says at the end.

Nirvana Celebrates 20th Anniversary of 'Nevermind' With Deluxe Reissue
Landmark album will be expanded with unheard songs and an unreleased live DVD

Nirvana's 1991 album Nevermind – the epoch-defining record that Rolling Stone has declared the Number One album of the Nineties and the 17th greatest album of all time – will be reissued on September 20th as a deluxe 5-disc edition. The expanded set celebrates the 20th anniversary of the record's original release with an extensive collection of previously unheard recordings, rarities, b-sides, radio sessions, live performances and an unreleased concert presented in its entirety on DVD.

As of yet, Universal has not released a full track listing for the deluxe edition. As it turns out, even band member Dave Grohl isn't quite sure what will turn up in the set. "I mean, as far as content and releases and stuff like that, honestly, it’s like I’m the drummer again. I’m the last one to know anything," Grohl told Rolling Stone. "It’s almost like a wedding anniversary – something that someone reminds you of about a week beforehand, and then you panic and buy flowers."

Even still, Grohl hints at other Nevermind anniversary surprises down the line. "I wouldn’t doubt it if something very special happens – we have a few things up our sleeves. I can’t really say anything yet. But you’ll see. It’ll be fun."

maybe they'll do a surprise "reunion" with Taylor Hawkins on vocals.

I wonder if it'll be remastered.

Same with me, but with U2's "Achtung Baby" and "Zooropa" sets. No word on when those are released, but sometime later this year. I'm hoping those are November and not September. The Pink Floyd sets also sound really good, too.

Small Fire in Courtney Love’s Town House
By ELISSA GOOTMAN
A small fire broke out early Thursday morning in Courtney Love’s West Village home, a Fire Department official said.

The fire, in a fourth-floor bedroom of Ms. Love’s town house, at 250 West 10th Street near Hudson Street, was probably started by a candle next to the curtains, the official said. Ms. Love discovered the fire, the official said, although it was not clear whether she placed the 911 call, at 1:52 a.m. There was also a male occupant at the home at the time.

By the time firefighters arrived, the fire was mostly extinguished. Ms. Love had a light burn on her hand, “almost like a sunburn,” the fire official said. She was not taken to the hospital.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but it has been deemed not suspicious. The bedroom curtains were burned, the official said, and nearby bed linens were also slightly burned.
After an all-consuming search for the perfect downtown town house, Ms. Love, the singer, actress and widow of Kurt Cobain, decided to rent the West 10th Street home in February, agreeing to pay about $27,000 a month, according to brokers.

The home is described on StreetEasy as “a beautifully renovated and redesigned historic town house” that is “made for luxury living and entertaining,” with three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a 25-foot living room, six fireplaces and a modern kitchen with exposed natural stone. “A must see!!”
