About This Track

'Bleach [Liner Notes]' by Nirvana is a track built around a set of spoken liner-note style credits, listing performers and recording details, including vocals and guitar for Kurdt Kobain, bass for Chris Novoselic, and drums for Chad Channing. The notes also reference Jason Everman and Dale Crover’s drumming, plus a recorded-in-Seattle session at Reciprocal, with the work described as recording by Jack Endino for $600. The text declares that all songs were written by Kurdt Kobain, except for “Love Buzz”, which is written in part by someone else, and the overall impression is of documentation as much as music.

"Bleach [Liner Notes]" is a track by Nirvana, released 16th June 1989. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Nirvana.
