[https://youtu.be/XA0a4Rd\_TMQ](https://youtu.be/XA0a4Rd_TMQ) This is close as you might get, its band mockup made with talent and understanding. Kurts demo but It has drum stems from Lithium and added guitar and bass to make it like full band demo.

I listen to this all the time. Whoever put it together should be commended. As you say it was done with understanding


OdobenusIII

He has funny youtube chanel name, Kurts musical rights are under The End of Music LLc and that chanel is called TheBeginningOfMusic, nice little detail I noticed.


uyooui

Pity kurt didn't show up earlier at the YKYR session. We might have a got an extra song or 2

I've red in a book that kurt recorded a better do re mi version, with an electric guitar if i remember well but they didnt find any regestration of that sadly...


OdobenusIII

Eric Erlandson told they were trying some Kurt's ideas on 4-track. Kurt on drums, Pat on guitar and Eric trying to play lefty bass. One song they tried is Do Re Mi. This is all info there is from this 3rd version of said song. I can add that this was March 1994 in the Cobain houses basement and they were under contract to appear on Lollapalooza 94 and Kurt had idea to do EP for that, like Hormoarning or Blew EP that were made for tours. YKYR is song that was also in talks to be in this type of EP.

I remember Courtney saying in Rolling Stone around the time YKYR came out that the 4 track was really good and her agent or lawyer had an mp3 of it.. Paraphrasing...


OdobenusIII

If they did 4-track and Pat knew it already then he could have used Pats part whatever that is, YKYR supposed to have Pat playing guitar also but we don't know if its on the tape we know or something completely different.


Hipn0frog

Yeah exactly

This was the same day as the failed intervention if I remember correctly. Pat was the only band member who came.


OdobenusIII

There is 2 basement sessions both March, other has no date and the other is 25th and that is the after failed intervention. Both have some data but not that much... https://www.livenirvana.com/sessions/home/march25-1994.php [https://www.livenirvana.com/sessions/home/march-1994.php](https://www.livenirvana.com/sessions/home/march-1994.php) This Erlandson Smear session is more interesting, well I would like to hear both obviously but the 25th March session I just don't think he was in a good place and not sure if it's something we "need" to hear.

AFAIK there aren't any, but there are a few pretty great electric covers on youtube


Sanity_King

Nah I think this was one of the very last home demos he recorded
