    Does your copy of Nevermind have "Endless, Nameless"?

    I have 2 copies- one with and one without so I voted both Yes and No. :)

    First pressings should not have it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevermind#Recording_and_production

    Nevermind was mastered on the afternoon of August 2 at The Mastering Lab in Hollywood, California. Howie Weinberg started working alone when no one else showed up at the appointed time in the studio; by the time Nirvana, Andy Wallace, and Gary Gersh arrived, Weinberg had mastered most of the album. One of the songs mastered at the session, a hidden track called "Endless, Nameless" intended to appear at the end of "Something in the Way", was accidentally left off initial pressings of the album. Weinberg recalled, "In the beginning, it was kind of a verbal thing to put that track at the end. Maybe I misconstrued their instructions, so you can call it my mistake if you want. Maybe I didn't write it down when Nirvana or the record company said to do it. So, when they pressed the first twenty thousand or so CDs, albums, and cassettes, it wasn't on there." When the band discovered the song's omission after listening to its copy of the album, Cobain called Weinberg and demanded he rectify the mistake. Weinberg complied and added about ten minutes of silence between the end of "Something in the Way" and the start of the hidden track on future pressings of the album.

    DCW been a-boogeyin' since I ditched the stroller.

    I have the MoFi, so "Endless Nameless" is on there. That's the only reason I got the thing.

    Like you, I have both Geffen versions, so I also voted Yes and No. I also have the MFSL gold disc.

    I bought it at a midnight sale when it first came out. Weeks later a friend asked me if I had heard the "hidden track". I couldn't find it. I sold it back to a used record store and got a copy that had Endless Nameless on it.

    Don't listen to it drunk w/headphones; made me puke (though I was probably going to, anyway)! \w/

    Mine does not; guess that is the price I paid for buying a used copy back in the day. Thanks a lot, Howie...

    Received mine as a gift in late summer of '93, regular Geffen release and YES, it has it ! It came as a complete surprise the first time I heard it.

    I originally bought it the day it came out, and that copy didn't have it. Then I bought a Japanese pressing about 6 months later that had it. If I'm remembering correctly, the first pressing (approx. 40,000?) was the only US pressing that didn't have it, because whoever mastered it didn't realize there was a hidden track buried X minutes after "Something In The Way".

    Mine doesn't. But it's a b-side on the Come As You Are single, which I rescued from a bargain bin, so I ended up with it anyway.
