Sliver: The Best of the Box

Product Description
Nirvana changed the course of popular music forever and remains an inspiration to those who have followed. The band's musical legacy was illuminated further in November 2004 by the release of the 3-CD/1-DVD box set With the Lights Out, the definitive collection of rarities and outtakes. Now the 22-song, single-disc Sliver: The Best of the Box offers fans audio highlights from With the Lights Out with the bonus inclusion of three unreleased tracks: "Spank Thru," "Sappy," and a rehearsal recording of "Come as You Are."

Customer Reviews:

Must-have for Nirvana fans.......2007-01-12

Got this as a gift for a new Nirvana fan, and she loved it!

Buy the box set instead of this!.......2006-12-21

All it is the summary of the boxset i guess for the budget nirvana fan? the reason i am giving it 2 stars all it had to offer was a track not included in the box set which is the come as you are demo.. the box set is alot more expensive but has alot more to offer than this and you get a decent dvd to watch all in all a buy for the hardcore nirvana fan... also the art work was originally picked out by Frances Bean Cobain and thats a good thing! other than that buy the box set

Don't Buy.......2006-11-06

This is the worst recording of Nirvana I have ever heard! The entire thing sounds horrible. DON'BUY IT!!

Poor value for money.......2006-10-20

I agree with most people that this is an un-necessary release. It is an obvious attempt to cash in by the holders of the rights. But on the other hand it is also a cheaper alternative to the 'With the lights out box'. I own the box and can honestly say it is definitely worth the extra money to buy that. This doesn't even offer the best of the box anyway, which it clear states in the title. I only bought this because I like to own anything and everything with the Nirvana name on it. I believe Nirvana are the most influencial band since the Beatles and any unheard recording of the bands I must have.
Only hardcore fans will want to buy this, it only offers 3 previously unreleased recording of which only two are any good. 'Sappy' and a 1985 recorded version of 'Spank Thru' which surely must be the first ever recording by Nirvana.
As far as value for money goes, this doesn't have anything to offer, sadly.

Horrible Quality.......2006-09-22

Even though the song list looks impressive, don't waste your money on this one. This is the poorest quality sound I've ever heard on a CD.
Being a Nirvana Fan, I have other albums that sound great, but I can't recommend this one.Again don't waste your money.
