Notes
  • MZ extraction [December 2020].
  • "Downer" is slightly cut into.
  • This was supposed to be NIRVANA's live debut, but evidences suggests that this show was probably played in July or August the same year.
  • It remains uncertain if any more songs were played/recorded after the last song "Hairspray Queen" on the surfaced version - at around 46 minutes this could be the point of the tape flip.
