Glad I could help! Your post gave me a walk down memory lane. I'd forgotten all about the trips I used to do to this local music store that carried bootlegs. The Nirvana section was substantial. I remember having a number of them with the mislabeled tracks, including the one you mentioned. I also picked up a few live show recordings that were unlistenable, though luckily the store accepted returns.

I found an archive of the full set that includes the Nothing Compares 2 U track. Seems that they opened the gig with the song [0]. There's a neat story in the link about the show and how this bootleg got around.

What a great link. FNM was the first band I loved that wasn't inherited from my older brothers. Patton remained my favorite artist for many years (still my favorite vocalist and I have tickets for one of his collaborations later this year). My music library is a little bit better because of this. Many thanks!
