Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love: It's Closing Soon

Live Nirvana Bootography Rating: C

Live Nirvana Bootography Review:
"It's Closing Soon" is a duet by Cobain and Love. Both songs on Side B are Hole television appearances in the U.K. (1993.03.26 on "The Word" and 1995.03.30 on "Top of the Pops"), neither of which involve Cobain. The sleeve is made of a heavy, textured paper. The vinyl (33 1/3 rpm) is black.

The A-side is extremely hissy and no better than any other version of this I've heard. The sound on the B-side is pretty good as both songs are taken from tv broadcasts. However, whoever made the master tape wasn't that concerned with the final product. After both songs end, the tv hosts come on and say a few words before the track abruptly ends. So the complete songs are there, but there's no reason the minimal effort couldn't have been put into having a master without the few words by the hosts at the end. (also my copy had terrible speed problems-TB)
