Cobain’s Homemade Cover of “And I Love Her” to be Issued on Vinyl
Kurt Cobain’s unvarnished, homemade cover of the Beatles’ smooth, in-studio ballad “And I Love Her” is set for release as a seven-inch vinyl single.
The lo-fi recording, discovered as Cobain documentarian Brett Morgen sought material for the recently released “Montage of Heck,” is gritty, awash in background noise, out of key and, frankly, not very good.
But then, it’s a home recording never intended for release and is to Nirvana fans as “The Lost Lennon Tapes” are to Beatles fans.
And that makes it incredibly special.
“Nobody in Kurt’s life - not his management, wife (Courtney Love), bandmates - had ever heard his Beatles thing,” Morgen tells Rolling Stone magazine. “I found it on a random tape.“
The single, b/w the Cobain-composed “Sappy,” is set for release Nov. 20, according to Vinylcollective.com
