Notes: Produced and engineered by Butch Vig and Nirvana. Mixed by Andy
Wallace. When Nevermind was released in October 1991, a track
("Endless, Nameless") was supposed to be included, but because of
the dead space between "Something in the Way" and "Endless,
Nameless" on the master tape, this song was accidentally not
included. The later 1991 release included "Endless, Nameless."
