The files I got are actually all MP3, so it would be great if you indeed have those FLAC files

Yes, I have these in FLAC and should have a download link ready later this afternoon.

Yeah all the other instrumental interludes from Vitalogy are in that collection. The tape hiss that’s present on the track I posted is present on the other tracks as well, so I’m inclined to believe it’s legit. Also there are two alt mixes of Corduroy, I think I’d only heard one of them before on the Deluxe reissue.

Keep in mind that sometimes these "Advance Record Company Promo Rough Mix" cassette things are nothing more than an unmastered/unassembled version of the final album mix, being traded around as a "rough mix" by people who don't understand how these things work.

That certainly happened with "In Utero". Dumbass Nirvana collectors were trading around an advance promo cassette of the album with a different track order for years and calling it "In Utero Rough Mixes".

You can get the same results by dubbing a cassette from the CD on "random" mode and then dubbing it six more times and then ripping it with an AIWA and uploading it.

Thanks trag for putting this together!
And EGrover for all the flac

If needed, I have the original bootleg silvers of the Vs. demos and the More Nonsense bootleg.

I also have Pilate and Low Light demos/rough mixes from 1997 if we're all about expanding the time frame here.

I think if you have Yield demos we are all about expanding the time frame

Wow!!!

I'm guessing just a rip from SVT. I've seen some of those passed off as rehearsals/demos.

No, it's not.

If I can liken it to anything, the sound quality is similar to the Vs. sessions rough mixes (like there was a cassette transfer along the way). The songs themselves are like the Avocado demos, where you can identify the elements that remained in the official release, but mixed with other channels that were mixed out or re-recorded.

I have them in mp3 at home, but the disc and/or lossless files are elsewhere and I'd have to dig them out.

[nomorecrackpipes]

Is there a way to post a sample of the song here to see if I should spend time on this? arthurdent's comment is now making me think I've been living a lie for 15 years.

I'll try it later tonight as there's nothing else going on in the world right now.

If memory serves, both Lowlight and Pilate were incomplete/snippets on SVT. So if these are complete then they're something else.
