Nirvana: The Recording Sessions

Nirvana: The Recording Sessions

Most books about Nirvana concentrate on Kurt Cobain's short tragic life and suicide, whereas this puts Nirvana's music center stage.

Over 40 recording sessions, including private recordings, made between 1982 and 1994 are painstakingly analyzed, from Kurt Cobain's first bedroom four-track demos through to the "newÂ” tracks including the With The Lights Out box set, Live At Reading, the 20th Anniversary Edition of Nevermind and the expanded Bleach.

The author draws on hours of interviews with those who worked on Nirvana's sessions, including engineers, producers, guest musicians and other collaborators.

Whilst this book was published in hardback in 2004 by Helter Skelter (gaining a prestigious Certificate Of Merit from the American Association For Recorded Sound Collections in the category for Best Rock Research), it was never officially published here. This new fully-updated paperback, from Soundcheck Books, is therefore the first chance that fans in North America have to read it.

Praise for the original hardback:

"a brilliant overview of the band's musical output" - NME; "Exhaustive And Impeccably ResearchedÂ” - Metal Hammer; "â€¦ manna from heavenÂ” Kerrang!
