For completists mainly, this disc contains in utero in its original running order in unmixed not-so-radio-friendly sound. The disc is obviously sourced from an analog tape that was most likely distributed before the actual album came out. This disc is NOT in stereo (meaning you can't fade the volume all the way to the left and hear kurt sing solo after the Rape Me bridge), however it does contain the unmixed versions of Heart Shaped Box and All Apologies (which i prefer more because the distorted, messy guitar drowns out the vocals a bit), and the four b-sides/rarities. The volume is a lot lower than the actual In Utero cd. This is noticeable say, if you frequently drive while wearing headphones like I have a tendency to do. The artwork is crap. Despite the addition of four tracks, I still prefer to listen to actual In Utero cd. But since you can only get the unmixed version of All Apologies on the In Utero demos cds, it could be worth yr while. (The unmixed Heart Shaped Box, with extra bass part, is also availible on Outcesticide 4: It's Better To Burn Out...)
