Meet the Beatles!
"About a Girl" was written in 1988, reportedly after Cobain spent an afternoon repeatedly listening to "Meet the Beatles!", the 1964 second American release by the Beatles. The song was first recorded in the studio in December 1988 by Jack Endino at Reciprocal Recording in Seattle, Washington. This version appeared on the band's debut album, "Bleach", in June 1989. It was debuted live at a dorm party at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington in February 1989.
