About this record
This 2002 DGC compilation draws from six Nirvana sources across 14 tracks, but two cuts stand apart: Track 1 is previously unreleased, and Track 10 is a previously unreleased single mix. The dead-wax matrix FM/CA FM 22851 (0694935072/TE001) identifies pressings from Universal Music & Video Distribution, Corp. and Future Media, with variant suffixes (C01 M04 S01, C01 M03 S04, C01 M03 S03, C01 M02 S07) marking different manufacturing runs.
What drives its value
Community ownership is concentrated: 2233 collectors have this disc against 397 who want it, a ratio that reflects its status as a later compilation rather than an original studio album. The barcode 0694935072 appears on all known pressings.
Without a price_guide entry, market value cannot be stated in dollars, but the want-to-have ratio (397 to 2233) suggests moderate secondary-market demand. Buyers seeking specific unreleased material—particularly the previously unreleased single mix of Track 10—drive interest above typical compilation baseline.
The 163 community ratings averaging 4.4 indicate consistent collector regard, though scarcity data and resale pricing remain opaque outside specialist forums.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 0694935072 on the spine and back cover. The barcode 0694935072 must be present.
Examine the dead-wax matrix on the disc surface: all known copies carry FM/CA FM 22851 (0694935072/TE001) followed by one of four suffixes—C01 M04 S01, C01 M03 S04, C01 M03 S03, or C01 M02 S07—indicating which manufacturing plant (Universal Music & Video Distribution, Corp. or Future Media) and which pressing run produced your copy. The 14-track sequence must open with the previously unreleased Track 1, followed by material sourced from Bleach, the Blew EP, Sliver single, Nevermind, In Utero, and MTV Unplugged In New York.
Verify Track 10 is the previously unreleased single mix. Check for manufacturing defects common to CD pressings of this era: delamination, laser rot, or skipping.
The disc itself should read cleanly without audible dropout.

Frequently asked
How do I know which pressing plant made my copy?
Read the dead-wax matrix etched into the disc surface near the center hole. All copies carry FM/CA FM 22851 (0694935072/TE001) as the base code. The suffix that follows—C01 M04 S01, C01 M03 S04, C01 M03 S03, or C01 M02 S07—corresponds to either Universal Music & Video Distribution, Corp. or Future Media. Cross-referencing the suffix against pressing-plant records will pinpoint the manufacturer.
What makes Track 1 and Track 10 special on this compilation?
Track 1 is previously unreleased—it does not appear on any of the six source albums or EPs cited in the release notes. Track 10 is a previously unreleased single mix, meaning it is a distinct remix or alternate version that has not been issued elsewhere. These two cuts are the primary draw for collectors seeking material beyond the standard album canon.
Where do the 14 tracks come from?
Track 2 originates from Bleach; Track 3 from the Blew EP; Track 4 from the Sliver single; Tracks 5–8 from Nevermind; Tracks 9–12 from In Utero; and Tracks 13–14 from MTV Unplugged In New York. Tracks 1 and 10 are previously unreleased. This sourcing is documented in the release notes and confirms the compilation's role as a retrospective spanning the band's major releases.
How many collectors own this disc, and how many are looking for it?
According to community data, 2233 collectors have this compilation, while 397 want it. The ratio indicates that ownership is relatively widespread, but secondary-market demand persists, particularly among those seeking the two previously unreleased tracks.
Is this a US or international release?
This is a US release on DGC, issued in 2002. The catalogue number 0694935072 and the barcode 0694935072 are specific to the North American market. Copies pressed by Universal Music & Video Distribution, Corp. and Future Media were distributed domestically.
