Outcesticide I
|
|
Outcesticide I: In Memory of Kurt Cobain is the first in a series of bootlegs albums featuring rare music by the 1990s grunge band Nirvana.
Although it's nearly impossible to measure sales of dubiously-produced bootleg albums, the Outcesticide series is, in all likelihood, the most successful and popular Nirvana bootlegs ever produced. Each of the five albums in the series is comprised of various live, demo, and otherwise unreleased recordings. All of the albums in the Outcesticide series were released by Blue Moon Records; However, due to the series' popularity, various knock-off and copycat products have been released by those wishing to cash in.
Below is the tracklisting for the first Outcesticide compilation; For the other albums in the series, see Outcesticide II, Outcesticide III, Outcesticide IV, and Outcesticide V.
