Packaging
With the Lights Out is packaged in heat-sensitive material which changes color when touched, revealing images of recording session tapes.
Each of the three CD's loosely represent the rare recordings from each of the three eras of Nirvana's history, in line with the band's three studio albums (Bleach, Nevermind and In Utero) which were released in 1989, 1991 and 1993 respectively. The DVD contains rare live performances and rehearsals from throughout the band's career.
It includes a 60-page booklet, which contains liner notes by Thurston Moore, of the American rock band Sonic Youth, and journalist Neil Strauss, as well as photographs and a chronological catalog of the band's recording history, including studio sessions, television and radio appearances, live performances and home demo recordings sessions.
Several songs on the box set are mislabeled, including "Vendetagainst" (mislabeled as "Help Me I'm Hungry," which was a name invented by bootleggers, and believed to be the song's title at the time) and "Seed" (mislabeled as "Don't Want It All"). The song "Annorexorcist" is misspelled as "Anorexorcist." Additionally, the true title of the song labeled as "Mrs. Butterworth" is unknown.
The band's May 6, 1987 radio session at KAOS 89.3 FM in Olympia, Washington is mislabeled as being from April 17, 1987.
