Nirvana – Nirvana [CD]

An Introduction To Nirvana, includes the new track “You Know You’re Right.” Nirvana is a “best-of” compilation album by the American grunge band Nirvana, released in October 2002. Nirvana was released following the settlement of a long-standing legal dispute between Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, and surviving Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl. Much of the dispute centered around the song “You Know You’re Right” which was recorded during the band’s final studio session, in January 1994. Novoselic and Grohl had wanted to release it on a long-delayed Nirvana rarities box set. However, Love blocked the song’s release, and sued Novoselic and Grohl over control of Nirvana’s legacy. Love’s lawsuit maintained that “You Know You’re Right” was a “potential ‘hit’ of extraordinary artistic and commercial value.” She believed that “You Know You’re Right” would be “wasted” on a box set, and instead belonged on a single-disc compilation similar to The Beatles’ 1. In September 2002, it was announced by the Nirvana camp that the lawsuit had been settled, and that “You Know You’re Right” would be released on “Nirvana, a one-CD history of the band.”
