With The Lights Out. The box set contains 81 tracks, 68 which were previously unreleased. The box set spans Nirvana's entire career, from a recording of Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker at the band's first show in 1987 to solo acoustic performances from singer-guitarist Kurt Cobain in 1994. With The Lights Out features a 60-page color booklet with rare photos and liner notes by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and writer Neil Strauss. The three CDs, arranged largely chronologically contains home and rehearsal demos, including for Smells Like Teen Spirit (whose lyric With the lights out provides the set's title), Rape Me, Heart Shaped Box and a trio penned by legendary bluesman Leadbelly. Heard in the 12 previously unreleased solo acoustic tracks are such gems as All Apologies, Lithium and Sliver. Six previously unreleased radio performances range from Anorexorcist in 1987 to Dumb in 1991 (two years before it was on 1993's In Utero). Along with the remaining debuts are a handful of earlier issued, though rare, b-sides and demos as well as the original Butch Vig mix of Smells Like Teen Spirit.
