Notes: Mrs. Butterworth received posthumous release on the 2004 With The Lights Out box-set. In a Newsletter, dated December 30, 2004, box-set project consultant, Jack Endino, explained that, rather than being a Cobain-accredited label, the title ‘Mrs. Butterworth’ had been ascribed by those within NIRVANA's management company, Silva Artist Management. Endino also confirmed that the demo's recording date/origins had been attributed incorrectly: ‘The rehearsal cassette with "Mrs. Butterworth" is undated, and someone at Silva [Artist Management] took a wild guess that it was Dale Crover playing drums (and that's what it says in one part of the box set booklet), but I took a good listen and concluded that no way was it Dale, plus I knew that Dale had only rehearsed with them a short time around January 1988, and had mostly done the songs recorded with me on Jan 23rd, while this tape had a much simpler drumming style and had more of the songs that they had been doing on the April 1987 KAOS tape. Therefore, it was probably a rehearsal from summer 1987, with Aaron on drums. That's the kind of deductive reasoning we had to employ throughout the process. Unfortunately, some of the booklet had already gone to press by the time I got to hear that stuff! As for the title "Mrs. Butterworth", someone at the Silva office just made it up, as Krist couldn't remember it, and the tape was unlabelled. Was it actually "Erectum"? (see diaries.) Who knows.’ (41)
