Nirvana box set!
 

Anyone know anything about this? It's coming out late Nov. 3 CDs, 1 DVD, and a 60 page booklet written by Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth).

I heard it had a ton of previously unheard/unreleased material... now does this mean a song like "You Know You're Right" that was NEVER released before (even in demo.. I think there was a live version somewhere once upon a time), or one of the rare B-sides like MV, Curmudgeon, Spank Thru, etc..?

I am still a proud owner of a live bootleg that has a song that Courtney Love claims has never been recorded....

Oooh really, what song would that be?

Holy shit... 68/81 songs that have never been issued!

holy shit! You just made my day. I cannot wait for this.

But You know You're Right came out with the greatests hits cd...

The bass player of Nirvana (sorry, I can't dredge up his name) has become active in Washington state politics, giving speeches, encouraging young voters to vote, and hinting that he will run for elective office.

Yeah I can't wait for the box set, it's been a long time coming, hopefully it comes to Australia soon enough.
I love Nirvana.

It's called "Talk to Me".

Here is the track listing: http://www.digitalnirvana.net/bootog...e=europe1991ls

Oooh yeah I have that one.

I have pretty much every rare Nirvana song in existence (that I know of, anyway).

Ever hear the original version of Stay Away called "Pay to Play"? Or Breed when it was called Imodium? It's pretty interesting to see songs evolve over time from the original concept/demo to the final cut.

What I meant was, they say "68 have never been previously issued."

The songs like Spank Thru, MV, Curmudgeon, etc... have never REALLY been issued/released (aside from on a few singls and bootlegs of their demos), but are well known and fairly common to most fans of Nirvana.

Then there's a song like "You now you're right" that really NO ONE heard until, what... 2001? (or 2002?) Supposedly there's a live version floating around, but still, for the most part many people never heard it.

Just curious as to which type it will be. 68 never before heard songs a la "You know you're right" will be goddamn amazing... that'd be equivalent to, what, 5 new Nirvana CDs? If, however, they are songs that most people HAVE heard before (like the other songs I listed above), it'll still be kick ass and everything, but the songs won't be NEW NEW.

Ya'mean?

They recorded a TON of songs (studio quality) over their career, so I'm 100% positive there's songs stashed away to be used on the follow up to In Utero (wasn't "You know you're right" supposed to be on that CD?)

talk to me is actually my favorite rare nirvana song. i downloaded a live version of it back when mp3s were only found on websites.

the live version of YKYR is called On the Mountain. slightly different lyrics.

i would be surprised if the 68 new songs did not include tracks off the outcesticide releases. but there will probably be a few completely new ones too.

Ya I have heard about that one. Seems awesome and I cannot wait for it to be out. I will be at a store opening day, college or no college...

BTW thats a great box:

It's not that the rare tracks haven't been released, rather a)they've never been officially released, or b) these specific versions of the songs haven't been released. I'm sure most people that have bought a couple of Nirvana bootlegs will have heard almost all these songs. There are a couple that I've never even heard the titles of, but I'm guessing I'll recognize them once I hear them.

I used to have a huge Nirvana collection when I was younger. Unfortunately I sold off most of it on ebay to buy food in college :()

most of the rare stuff was already on the outcesticide cds.
some rare stuff (bambi slaughter) isn't included here...i would be surprised if it was because it wasn't that good.
i'm not too excited about different versions of known songs. it's okay, not that special. most of the other tracks have been heard by any nirvana fan with a computer. i guess it's cool that there are a handful of "new" tracks there, provided it's not just an alternate name.

Hm, I'm assuming the rare stuff will be cleaned up though.

The songs on outcesticide weren't very good quality, I don't imagine they'd just up and toss that exact copy on a box set.

Picked up the new box set and I love it. Nirvana is my favorite band. I am very satified with the new box set. Good stuff, in my opinion.

im curious for others who went and got this set at the midnight selling (if there were others).
they were supposed to issue a tshirt and poster for every box set atleast in seattle and the label didnt have enough of both for every box set so we got kind of screwed in getting at the exact time it was available for the extras and then only getting one or the other by having a raffle where you dont even get to choose? :(

i was gonna buy it the day it came out, but I am pretty sure my girlfriend bought it for me for christmas so I have such a long long time to wait till I can finally hear it.

How much it going for anyways, Im sure its an arm and a leg

I saw it at Best Buy for $49.99

Gotta love Target, got it there for 27.99 the day it came out!

most places have it for 39.99
target had it for that when i looked 2 days ago
best buy had it for 50
it supposedly retails for 54.99
i wouldnt pay for than 40 for it myself but im not a huge fan i just enjoy all theyre stuff aside from nevermind (too much air time on radio, they need to mix it up more)
