Nirvana

The Recordings Handbook

Version 2.0 (December 2020 to September 2021)

A consolidation and chronology of all official Nirvana releases and recording dates.

This site was first written as a document in January 2006 just after the 'Sliver, Best Of The Box' compilation was released, and distributed via a PDF. Since then a lot of extra detail has surfaced or been corrected on recordings, and further compilation albums and reissues have appeared. After re-reading 'Heavier Than Heaven' by Charles R. Cross my interest was renewed enough to revisit the document and turn it into this web site. The original 2006 version (v1.0) can be found here, converted into a site for easier reading.

This site is not an attempt to document every Nirvana performance. This has been done countless times by others on far better pages than mine. The intent is to show when each released performance was recorded, and the loose order they were recorded and released in. It is really just designed as a reference for my own collection, but hopefully you can find it useful also.

Note - At this time a number of items are still missing, and will be added when time permits. These include (but are not limited to) -

• Fecal Matter - Illiteracy Will Prevail demo (1985)
• William S. Burroughs & Kurt Cobain - The 'Priest' They Called Him (1993)
• Nirvana - Bleach 20th anniversary edition (2009)
• Nirvana - Live At Reading (2009)
• Nirvana - Nevermind 20th anniversary editions (2011)
• Nirvana - In Utero 20th anniversary editions (2013)
• Kurt Cobain - Montage Of Heck editions (2015)
• Nirvana - Live At The Paramount (2019)
• Nirvana - Live And Loud (2019)

Reimagined

With so many different Nirvana and Kurt Cobain recordings released over the years on various albums, E.P.s, and singles I have reimagined everything into a nice 'expanded' album set that includes the three albums with all related tracks. I have also renamed some of the earlier tracks to match what the titles would have been if they were released immediately. I could expand these even further, but four discs per album seemed enough to capture each period well, without repeating too many tracks too often.

Note - These aren't quite complete yet as there are still some releases to add to the site before I can add the tracks here.
