NIRVANA: 'With The Lights Out' Box Set Track Listing Revealed

October 30, 2004

According to a posting at The Internet Nirvana Fan Club, Britain's Q magazine will bring the full track listing and an early review of the upcoming NIRVANA "With the Lights Out" box set in their December 2004 issue (#221) as part of an article entitled "Last Testament. The Nirvana boxset. Kurt Cobain's curtain call."

The track listing for the box set, due on November 23 via Geffen Records (one day earlier internationally),doesn't specify where the songs are from — as in the source session or performance. However, The Internet Nirvana Fan Club webmaster has tried to provide that information when possible, based on educated guesses and extensive knowledge of the NIRVANA recordings. He writes: "Please note that this source information is mostly speculation and by no means confirmed officially. Some sessions I'm sure of, while in other cases I've used the word 'possibly' to mark uncertainty. The source info is only intended to be used as reference. Though, the listing of actual song titles should be 100% accurate. "
