In researching Montage Of Heck, film-maker Brett Morgen discovered more than 100 early cassettes recorded by Cobain. Fans have described the music as the equivalent of a solo album from the music legend, who killed himself in 1994 at age 27.

Morgen told the AwardsLine website that the music would come out as a soundtrack to Montage Of Heck on Nov 6, when the documentary goes on sale as a DVD.
