βNirvana's scrappy Sub Pop debut is reissued with a 1990 live show as a bonus, and their legendary 1992 set at Reading is finally given a DVD/CD release.β
βHot on the heels of Live at Reading is this dolled-up 20th-anniversary (!) edition of Nirvanaβs debut, which barely hit the radar on its initial release but whose resonance ballooned as the band scorched the earth. Now, its near-greatness is plain, most clearly on "About a Girl," in the abraded Lennon-McCartney chord changes, and in [β¦]β
β**π Thoughts:** Nirvanaβs 1983 debut *Bleach* captures the band while theyβre still finding their sound, simultaneously being their most raw and unfiltered album within their discography.
