Various Artists - Kill Rock Stars [12", LP]


KILL ROCK STARS is a legendary compilation album on the label by the same name, from 1991. It features names like Nirvana, Melvins, Unwound, Bikini Kill and Nation Of Ulysses. There's also a track by Courtney Love on it, but that's actually a band called like that and not Kurt Cobain's widow. In 2011, 20 years after its original release, the label decided to reissue this album for Record Store Day, in 2000 handnumbered copies. The tracks on the album are pretty diverse, but in general it's all early 90's indie rock/pop underground stuff. Some good, some not so good. I like the Nirvana and Melvins tunes best.
