Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: B+ Sad To See It Go: No  As every last bit of Nirvana detritus has been selling lately, even my other copy of the No Alternative comp that sold with this copy, I'm filled with the urge to get this out of the way now, as opposed to spacing out my recent Nirvana commentary. This single was a pre-release UK import to In Utero.  The track "Marigold,"  that at the time seemed a clear unreleased B-side novelty (D...

This was a promo that came before the "He's A Whore" si...
