Couldn't load pickup availability
A revival of raw, unpolished power: Bleach is the debut studio album by Nirvana, originally unleashed on 15 June 1989 via Sub Pop.
This vinyl edition captures the grit of the early Seattle scene—punk attitude meets heavy riffs, one-two punch of melody and menace.
Key highlights you’ll want to drop the needle on:
-
Includes seminal tracks like “Blew”, “Love Buzz”, “About a Girl” and “Negative Creep”.
-
Produced by Jack Endino, in Seattle’s Reciprocal Recording over December 1988–January 1989.
-
The sound? Raw as a half-drank coffee, loud as our turntable dropping the needle at 6pm when our barista finishes their shift.
Why this matters:
Before the slick big-budget breakthrough of Nevermind, this was the underground statement. It blends hardcore punk, sludge-rock and nascent grunge, showing the young Kurt Cobain forging his voice.
Owning this album on vinyl isn’t just listening—it’s an experience of authenticity, a nod to misfits who came before the world caught up.
Format & Features:
-
Standard LP vinyl pressing (check variant for colour/edition).
-
Outer sleeve, inner sleeve (as per pressing).
-
Ideal for your turntable at home or our listening station in-store (yes, you could come in and spin it while nursing a flat white).
-
For collectors: earlier pressings (white vinyl, coloured vinyl) exist—worth checking the run-out for exclusivity.
