Album Description:
First CD from Nirvana, recorded for about $600 in a garage. This Sup Pop release includes 'About A Girl', 'Love Buzz', 'Negative Creep' & 10 more tracks.

When it first appeared, Bleach seemed like a tuneful approximation of what grunge rock in the Northwest United States was supposed to sound like--gruff, enraged, sometimes tuneful, sometimes silly. Singer Kurt Cobain had the pipes to belt out such power trash as "Mr. Moustache" and the Shocking Blue's "Love Buzz," but considering the sheer volume of frustrated tuneage coming out of Seattle in 1989, it was easy to miss Bleach's subtler textures. In retrospect, "Negative Creep" and "About a Girl" are the obvious standouts that point toward the strum and bang attack that would catapult Nevermind to the top of the charts. But this is also a band without drummer Dave Grohl; his predecessor, Chad Channing (and also the Melvins' Dale Crover), while competent, is no Grohl. Producer Jack Endino gave this album the best sound $600 could buy. --Rob O'Connor

When I first bought Bleach, it came with a sticker on it, a black and white picture of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and original drummer Chad Channing, with the words "This is Nirvana's First Album" in the signature Nirvana font. This actually makes some kind of sense in the area of marketing, because most anyone who would buy Bleach has already heard the band's radio hits, of which Bleach has none, and it almost needs to be spelled out that the album is in fact by Nirvana, the same band that tore down as many barriers and rounded up as many fans as they did within two years after its release.
Bleach shows the band in a much different condition than they are best known for. Instead of the later problems with fame, they had a hard enough time putting bread on the table let alone getting noticed when it was being made. It comes as a surprise to many that an album with as much toil and trouble behind its recording and production as Bleach could be so much less monumental in comparison to Nevermind and In Utero, but the album is actually more "grungy" than most everything else was on the grunge market at the time, and it did do some things that hadn't been approached before.
Instead of combining melodicism and heavy production like Nevermind and In Utero would later do, Bleach seems to waver back and forth between the two. It is hard to listen to the albums pop pieces, Blew and About a Girl, in context with the rest of the album's stark heaviness, but in ... Read More

Nirvana was one of my first favorite bands!! I used to have this album (bleach) and someone "borrowed" and never returned it. I had to replace it! Bleach is a lot different from the sound of their other albums, and it's their first. a must have for nirvana fans!

I bought this since it is one of all time must haves. Unfortunately the lp record is warped due to poor packaging practice. LP was sent in a box loosely packed with bubble pack and not sent properly in a vinyl cardboard sleeve. Unplayable now. I use this to showcase my friends new to vinyl how warped records look if it is packaged improperly during delivery. It costed more to send it back than keep it. Thanks but no thanks Amazon.

If your like me and own the CD version of Bleach, why not own it on Vinyl to. If you happen to own a turnable record player and are a fan of Nirvana, then I recommend buying this LP, no questions asked.

If you like Nevermind you should like this also, I personally think Bleach rocks much harder. If Dave Grohl would have been the drummer back then it would have been even more awesome. All and all it's a great CD.
