Nirvana – Orange & Blue - Blue (Blue, Colored Vinyl, Remastered, Reissue CD)
Product Details
The British Nirvana, the psychedelic pop duo active since the late 1960s, occupies a genuinely strange corner of rock history, forever shadowed by their Seattle namesakes yet responsible for some of the era's most inventive songwriting. Their decision to cover "Lithium" on this album turns that long-running name confusion into something almost conceptual, a wink at decades of mistaken identity transformed into music.
First vinyl pressing of British Nirvana's surprise 1996 album, which revived songs written back in the Sixties but never released. Taking it's title from one of those songs, Orange And Blue has all the idiosyncrasies you'd expect from the minds of Patrick Lyons-Campbell and Alex Spyropoulos but done with a nineteen-nineties spin. And it's story of how it all came to be, as with all things Nirvana - is not so straightforward, but detailed inside the liner notes. Across it's dozen tracks, ranging from sci-fi pop nuggets like "Lost In Space" to gentle ballads "Our Love Is The Sea", written specifically for Françoise Hardy, to their curiously bold cover of Seattle Nirvana's "Lithium", it's an album that hold many surprises. Along with rare session photographs, the set includes four bonus tracks in addition to new interviews from the band and their key co-conspirator, Keith Smart, which make it a definitive edition of this mysterious album.
