SEATTLE, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- The Sub Pop record label in Seattle says it is releasing deluxe editions of Nirvana's "Bleach" in honor of the 20th anniversary of the album's release.

The Boston Globe said Sunday the deluxe editions will be available on record and compact disc and will each include remastered tracks and a previously unreleased live Nirvana recording from February 1990.

Former Sub Pop publicist Jennie Boddy recalled the impact "Bleach" had on her when it was first released in 1989.

"It was incredible,'' she told the Globe. "It's urgent and blunt and angry and empathetic and explosive. ... You could scream 'No Recess' and it would sound important, or hear 'Negative Creep' and that song was like you.''

Nils Bernstein, who also worked as a Sub Pop publicist, agreed the debut album from the rock trio from Aberdeen, Wash., was the start of something special.

"Somehow, it was the rare circumstance for what should happen did happen, that the little, talented, intense guy actually did get more popular than … these preening frontmen-type people,'' Bernstein said in an apparent reference to Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain.
