Tracks
Outtakes
* "D7" is a '93 rip roaring cover version of The Wipers, one of Kurt's favorite punk rock band from his youth. This version is shorter and rougher than the one featuring on With The Lights Out boxset or Ultra Rare Trax volume 3.
* "Sad" is a Kurt solo demo that would later become known as "Sappy".
* "In the Pines" is a Nirvana's studio version of the famous Leadbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night"
* "I Hate Myself" was kept from from In Utero. Cobain said it was not a real loss and jokingly assessed he "could have done it when sleeping".
* "Pennyroyal Tea" is one of the rejected alternate mix for In Utero.

Live recordings
* "Money Will Roll" was performed at the Reading Festival.
* "In His Hands", later officially named "Verse Chorus Verse". This version keeps the same melody, but has different lyrics.
* "Help Me" is another version of "Help Me, I'm Hungry" released on the box set.
