Original release
Released in limited-edition form worldwide in 1992 by Geffen Records, written, produced and engineered at WFNX Boston by Kurt St. Thomas and Troy Smith,[1] (authors of Nirvana: The Chosen Rejects, (St. Martin's Press, 2004).[2] The original interview sessions were recorded by St. Thomas the night of Nirvana's first appearance on NBC's Saturday Night Live in 1992.[1] It contains over an hour of audio interview with live and studio recordings.[3] The reason for its production was for radio stations world-wide to have a Nirvana interview to play because at that time the band was so popular that it was not possible for them to visit all the radio stations that were playing their music.[1] Copies of the CD are rare and have become collectors items.[1]
