chris hather (2/5) FLAC / 1 View   SBD #1b
Notes: Whilst these songs are grouped together here, they were most likely not recorded at the same sitting, or even within the same year. All are Kurt Cobain home demos, recorded some time between 1987 and 1988, presumably at Cobain's contemporary residence. Circa Summer 1988, Cobain was dubbing many of these tracks onto cassette compilations and sending them out to prospective record labels. One example of such a compilation can be found on page 81 of Come As You Are: The Story Of Nirvana, where Cobain annotates Polly, Seed and Sappy (‘Sad’) as ‘Mellow 4-track shit.’ (4) Beans is a quirky acoustic number that sees Cobain adopting a cartoonish falsetto and experimenting with the speed on his vocal track. Cobain had hoped to include the song on Bleach, but met with heavy resistance from Sub Pop co-owner, Jonathan Poneman. ‘He thought we were retarded,’ Cobain opined to NIRVANA biographer, Michael Azerrad, believing that the band had been bulldozed into suppressing their more diverse and experimental tendencies to fit the grungy Sub Pop formula. (4) Sound collage, Montage Of Heck, features samples taken from Cobain's extensive record collection, TV and radio commercials, original NIRVANA demos, and other Cobain-created/recorded oddities. Some of the samples found on the short version are not present on the long version, and vice versa. In amongst the debris of the short version, snippets of original NIRVANA demos, The Landlord Is A Piece Of Shit From Hell and Blandest; within the long version, one can make out snippets of Vendetagainst and Gypsies Tramps And Thieves. The intro to the Love Buzz single is sourced from the short version of Montage Of Heck; Cobain had intended for the intro to be some 45-second long, but it was trimmed down to 10-seconds at Sub Pop's request. ‘They were just constantly having control right away,’ Cobain bemoaned to Azerrad. ‘Doing exactly what a major label would do and claiming to be such an independent label.’ (4) Another Cobain-assembled sound collage, She's Selling The Escalator To Hell, makes reference to the backwards masking of Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven, with Cobain recording himself backwards to say, ‘She's selling the escalator to Hell!’
