Anyone else buying the Montage of Heck album?

Yeah, I'll check it out.

Not sure how much of it is worthwhile, but I'm going to get it.

I really just wanted a CD, but the CD release is only 13 songs. No way I'm buying the Super Deluxe for Kurt's cassette castoffs. I ended up just getting the digital version. I guess I don't really need anything physical.

Kurt's cassette castoffs may end up being the most interesting thing here. One thing you need to remember about Nirvana / KC releases: the people in charge of making them usually don't know what the hell they are doing.

What is the likelihood that that thing has been laundered since 1993?

Come to think of it, what is the likelihood that that thing had been laundered at any point before or during 1993?

Well, that's why I'm buying the digital album. I'm just not spending $150 for the super deluxe.

One of the most surprising things to me this year is that the media never caught on to the treasure trove of Nirvana rarities that leaked. Among them, there were multiple sets of Nevermind and In Utero outtakes, the Fecal Matter demo, a rehearsal tape from 1987 that's incredible, several soundboard recordings of shows (1/23/1988, 10/24/1989, 7/03/1992) and a brand-new jam from 1993 that's absolutely insane.

In the mediaverse we all inhabit, it's amazing to me that these never became a big deal.

The "deluxe" album release concept is so f'ing stupid. Surely it will hit a boiling point some time soon. Why the hell would I want a puzzle, or a shitty folded up movie poster, or what else have you that comes in these dumbass packages?

In what direction would one need to be pointed to hear such things?

I guess I could make a mix CD of the best stuff that leaked out and post it here.

I mean, yeah, if you're not doing anything else.

Especially given that this is something new. Wouldn't a collector's edition make more sense on something that is established as a classic. I notice One Direction has an album coming out that they have not yet offered in a Super Deluxe version.

What about the 31 track CD release?

eg. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/music/browse/ ... on/833661/

Maybe there was some weirdness where that wasn't being directly released in the US, now I think about it.

You could probably order it, though.

The Prince/Michael Jackson one is the best

It's just some executive's "answer" to piracy. The more people steal their music (and to a lesser extend download legally) the more they have to come up with a reason for someone to buy a physical copy. They think puzzles and statues and t-shirts and folded posters will do the trick.
