THE LIVENIRVANA COMPANION TO OFFICIAL RELEASES:
From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah (Geffen Records)

This is a transcript of the extra bonus material present on the vinyl version of 'From the Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah'. For those who weren't aware or are curious as to why this was not present on the CD version and why they took the unusual and to our knowledge unique decision to add bonus footage to the vinyl version one can only say that Nirvana were known to be really big fans of vinyl as a musical format. Kurt is on record as saying how much he preferred vinyl to CD, saying that he didn't particularly like CD's and would buy vinyl whenever possible when he was purchasing records. He also spoke of his love for vinyl as a 'package', saying that he would really like to find a way of presenting CD's in the same way as vinyl, as he felt that since the advent of CD's the importance of cover art has decreased.

Anyway, if you don't own the vinyl version or haven't listened to this before, enjoy!
