 LOS ANGELES (Nirvana Fans Website) - The long-delayed Nirvana boxed set planned for release on November 23rd finally has a name: "With the Lights Out", and will include three audio CDs and a DVD. The title is a reference to a lyric in 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. The artwork for the set is currently being put together, with the likely choice being a 'landscape' box, retailing in the region of $55-65. The audio portion is expected to include some previously unreleased tracks, rehearsals, a selection of late front-man Kurt Cobain's home demos and sessions recorded for radio broadcasts, reported China Radio International. "With the Lights Out" was originally intended for release in Christmas 2001, to coincide with the 10-year anniversary of Nirvana's breakthrough album, "Nevermind." But surviving members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic were thwarted by lawsuits from Cobain's widow Courtney Love, who objected to their planned use of the previously unreleased track "You Know You're Right" in the set. The dispute was eventually settled in September 2002, with the parties agreeing to earmark "You Know You're Right" for a self-titled Nirvana compilation released on October 29th, 2002. The album went on to sell more than 1.45 million copies in the United States.
