So it was progress.

And that December, they went into the studio with producer Jack Andino to cut their first album.

And the whole thing cost $606.17.

And he was a guitarist who joined the band around the same time.

And though he never actually played a note on the record, they put his name on the credits anyway.

And Kurt wanted him to feel like he belonged.

So the label had a mold, and Sub Pop wanted a heavy, grungy, rough kind of sound.

So Kurt dialed back his pop instincts and the artier edges to deliver what they expected.
