Bleach (remastered, Nimbus pressing)

~ Release by Nirvana (see all versions of this release, 45 available)

Annotation

This Bleach album came out in 1989, but the specific release from Discogs (SP34b, Nimbus Pressing, remastered CD) is the 1992 reissue.
The scans confirm everything:
On the back is “© and ℗ 1989 Sub Pop”, barcode 0 98787-0034-2.
On the disc there is the inscription “Digitally Remastered” and the catalog number SP34b: it is with the designation “b” that the remaster version begins.
The matrix “SP 34 (V) MASTERED BY NIMBUS” without IFPI code is just an early version of the remaster.
Discogs put the release year for this version not in the main field, but in the notes: “Digitally remastered version released from 1992 on.” Nirvana's discography confirms this: in 1992, after the success of Nevermind, Sub Pop re-released Bleach on CD and cassette in a digital remaster.
