Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings, a soundtrack accompaniment to the documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck released earlier this year, starts at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Soundtracks chart (dated Dec. 5) with 5,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen Music.
The album also begins at No. 6 on Alternative Albums, No. 11 on Top Rock Albums and No. 121 on the Billboard 200.
The 13-track release, expanded to 31 on the deluxe version, boasts multiple demos and recordings from Cobain’s life, much of them of lower sound quality, including a cover of the Beatles’ “And I Love Her” and an early version of the Nirvana song “Been a Son.” Some of the songs on the set appear in the documentary, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last winter, was given a theatrical release in April and aired on HBO in May.
