I made better recordings in my garage
I was expecting studio quality demos similar to Metallica's Garage Days. I was expecting a lot more when I bought this CD. This CD is litterally a compilation of poorly mixed cassette tape recordings. Quality is very bad.


Horrible CD
It is far from that to be sure. I bought this CD thinking it was a "Best Of" or "greatest Hits" type thing. Sure there are alot of songs here but they are all old demo's or just poorly recorded live stuff from garage practices & small clubs. Maybe I'm just too jaded, but the sound quality was horrible. I mean I was disapointed in it not being studio recordings in the 1st place. But in this day & age you should be able to go in & clean the really poor sound quality up a bit before packaging it up & selling it to the general public. It basicly sounds like it was recorded usuing a portable cassette tape player, & a cheap one at that! I'm gonna see if I can get some fool to actually give me some money for this piece of trash on Ebay, but I doubt it.


OK Album
I have to admit, I own the "With the lights out" box set but I still bought this album, for the three bonus tracks not released on the big box set. I am a HUGE fan of Nirvana and own every album.


Tasteless Trash
I am a big fan of Nirvana, but this was a total disappointment to me. If I could give this half of a star I would. The tracks sounded awful. I felt like I was ripped off in every sense of the way. I took it to a buy-trade-sell place and not even they would offer me anything for it, which shows you the poor quality of this album. A word of advice; DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!! .


Silver The Best Of The Box
Plus it includes the rare Spank Thru song from the fecal matter tape. I think that this is a good cd of Nirvana there maybe some tape hiss on the CD but who cares its better than spending 100 bucks on the box set anyways i think this is a good CD think of it as kind of the best of the bootlegs nirvana really. Its a good cd for someone who wants to hear these songs but dosent want to buy the box set. Great CD!!!.
