Nirvana: Unofficial CDs
Items listed on this page are unofficial in some way.  They are either counterfeit or pirate copies of official releases, or bootlegs made to look official.

If you are looking for info on original* bootleg CDs with live shows, demos, outtakes, etc., please check out Digital Nirvana's Bootography.  There you will find a comprehensive list of bootleg releases, info for most discs, and numerous scans.  (I do not maintain that site, so please direct all questions and submissions to Mitch.)

* The Bootography does not list CD-R copies/clones or homemade discs.  They only deal with commercially pressed discs, otherwise known as originals.
