Nirvana Part 3

Continuing with the Nirvana stuff, at least for today and tomorrow, still just have SO much more.....some more rarities collections today, we'll put up some more live shows tomorrow, after that, well, we'll see, I have some fairly comical, for the most part, tribute albums I may just have to dig out to cap this off eventually......there is just SO much stuff.....

Let's begin today with the four-disc "Chosen Rejects" collection.....Disc 1 consists of "Home Demos", someone asked if I had any Fecal Matter (shut up), and a good portion of this disc is comprised of Fecal Matter recordings.....,also some other 4-track demo tapes, not always the greatest in sound quality, but nonetheless interesting. Disc 2 is a load of "Studio Sessions", lots of rare demos, rough mixes, and the like, running the gammit from 1988 through 1993. Disc 3 is made up of "Radio Broadcasts", some of the earlier-posted KAOS tape appears here, but also a lot of stuff that I don't think makes the other comps...Disc 4 is a mishmash of "Live Rarities", most of which may or may not come from complete shows that I have elsewhere but do not care about even close to enough to cross-reference.....this is a fine collection and pretty hard to locate, recommended to fans of the band.

We also have the "Complete Radio Sessions", the dates of the performances are given, not the sources, I do know that the version of "Lithium" with the "Rape Me" tease intro is from the 1992 MTV Awards  and is, I understand pretty rare in uncut form. Dates do appear with the track lists, I'm sure a bit of reasearch (by this, I mean YOUR research, not mine) would turn up the sources....I simply don't want to do that much work, sorry.

The title of the "In Utero Demos" should fill you in on what it's about, the "In Utero" album unmixed, basically, complete with the B-sides of the singles from the album. I find it fairly intersting, myself. Similarly, "The Nevermind Sessions" include some studio work from THAT album, highlighted by an acoustic "Sappy'....

Wishing to watch the NCAA championship so likely this post won't get up  until Tuesday, I'll wrap it up with the oddball "In Extremis Nirvana Remixed".....MOST of the time I don't much care for this stuff, but sometimes there is a surprise or two (I'll never forget the badass "Techno Mix of BOC's "Astronomy", have I ever posted THAT piece of kickass?).

OK, back with some more live shows tomorrow, as great as they mostly are, they (face it) do have their similarities, reminds me of one guy I know who PURCHASED all of those Pearl Jam "official" bootlegs, these here Nirvana shows, uhh, somebody GAVE them to me! Even so, they are for the most part great, and hardcore Nirvana freaks will likely be pissed that I didn't post the whole 300 or so live shows that I DO have.....Thursday I will probably put up those goofy, aforementioned "tributes", I guess, as you may have noticed I am kind of prone to changing my mind after saying I'm going to do something......a true man of mystery, I am, either that or I forget what I say after I say it....but as of now, the next two days will probably wrap up the Nirvanafest.....still, if there is something PARTICULAR you are looking for, a specific show or something, now be the time to inquire.......
