Three Unreleased Nirvana Tracks From ‘Nevermind’ Era Streaming Free on the Web

Three unreleased Nirvana tracks that are part of the upcoming deluxe 20^th anniversary reissues of ‘Nevermind’ are now streaming free on the web.

One’s a scorching demo, another is a rather good quality “boombox” recording and a third is a concert version of the band’s most famous song.

The demo is ‘Breed,’ which was recorded in 1990 with ‘Nevermind’ producer Butch Vig at his Smart Studios in Madison, Wis. ‘On a Plain’ is the boombox recording, and it features some band banter before the song begins. And last but certainly not least is a raucous ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ that comes from a Halloween 1991 Nirvana show at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle.

‘Nevermind’ will be re-released on September 27 in multiple formats, the biggest of which is the Super Deluxe Edition boxed set that includes the remastered album, the Smart Studios and boombox recordings, plus a DVD of the Paramount show.

In related news, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic is scheduled to perform today (September 20) at 10 p.m. PT as part of a ‘Nevermind’ tribute and benefit concert at the Experience Music Project museum in Seattle that will also be streamed online.
