In Utero (clean version)

~ Release by Nirvana (see all versions of this release, 61 available)

Annotation

This release is a 'censored version' for release in Wal-Mart and Kmart. It has edited artwork (the back cover was "zoomed in" to remove the pictures of foetuses.)
The "clean" version also has "Rape Me" retitled as "Waif Me" on the sleeve, although the song remains unchanged. Also of note is the Scott Litt remixed version of "Pennyroyal Tea" used on the single, rather than the original mix from the non-Walmart release.
