NIRVANA: Unreleased Tracks To Surface On 'Sliver' Compilation

September 21, 2005

RollingStone.com is reporting that three previously unreleased NIRVANA songs will surface November 1 when Geffen/Universal issue "Sliver", a compilation of NIRVANA rarities and demos. The twenty-two-track CD will be rounded out with material from "With the Lights Out", the NIRVANA box set released last November.

"Sliver" marks the first time Frances Bean Cobain, the 13-year-old daughter of late NIRVANA frontman Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, has taken an active role in her father's legacy. "We're pulling Frances into the family business," Love told RollingStone.com.

In addition to helping select the title, Frances Bean also played a role in choosing the cover image. "Courtney and I involve Frances in NIRVANA/Kurt decisions whenever we can," says Peter Asher, who manages Love and the Cobain estate. "She's very perceptive and has cool ideas."
