just some more info...
Nirvana producer Jack Endino has told PlayLouder that he thinks the new rarities box-set, 'With The Lights Out', will be followed by a flurry of live albums.
"I can’t speculate what the estate will do," he told us, "but you’ll notice there’s no live stuff on the box-set. Originally there was talk about having one disc for b-sides, one disc for live stuff etc, but when they realised how much live stuff there is they decided just to tell the story with songs that nobody has heard. There are multi-track recordings of many live shows and, down the road, I could imagine them doing, you know, a 'Munich 1993' album, like Pearl Jam and the Grateful Dead and the Hendrix estate have been doing."
The Seattle producer, known as the godfather of grunge for his work on 'Bleach', among others, is credited as a consultant on 'With The Lights Out'. He produced Nirvana’s first demo and, four years later, the early demos they did for 'In Utero'.
"I got the impression when they were doing the 'In Utero' demos that they didn’t really care whether they did them or not," he also told us, "but that somebody somewhere suggested to them that 'you really should go in and do some demos' and they went (resignedly) 'yeah OK, we'll go and do some demos'. It was strange really. It was right after Frances was born so Kurt was very distracted. He didn't show up at all the whole first day – didn't show, didn't call, just no Kurt. I thought 'that’s very strange, that's not like Kurt at all. Something’s changed in the last few years'.
"For him to book studio time and then not show up was completely unlike anything he’d done in the old days. I thought 'yep, rock star!' He’s busy dealing with the management, and lawyers, and phone calls and family and the baby and he can't be bothered to show up to the studio because he’s got a lot of other equally important things that are demanding his time."
One of the most harrowing moments on the box-set is a version of 'Rape Me' where you can hear Frances Bean crying in the background.
"She was sitting on his lap," Jack explains, "and then they held her up to the mic while Kurt was singing. It was a little distracting! Courtney came down to the studio with Frances and immediately everything was centred on the baby. Frances was only two weeks old or something. But I have to say that they were both very cute with the baby. You just had to grin and bear it. It's a baby and they're new parents so you have to let them do their thing. There was nothing harrowing about the recording session at all, Kurt was a nice guy, the band were always pleasant, make that clear. But, as a piece of art, he's singing in this very cracked, too-many-cigarettes voice 'Rape Me' and then there’s a baby crying. It does creep me out. I think he wanted to disturb people with that juxtaposition."
The box-set features 61 tracks of unreleased demos, including early versions of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and 'All Apologies', as well as previously unheard tunes, and an 18 track DVD. It’s out on Nov 22.
