[edit] Songs
Four of the songs on Hormoaning are covers which had not been released previously. The remaining two songs are Nirvana originals which previously appeared as b-sides.
"Aneurysm" and "Even in His Youth", the two Nirvana originals, also appear as b-sides on the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" single. This version of Aneurysm also appears on disc 2 of With the Lights Out and is different from the version released on Incesticide.
"Turnaround" (a cover of the Devo song), "Son of a Gun" and "Molly's Lips" (covers of The Vaselines' songs) all appear on the Incesticide album
"D-7" is a cover of The Wipers song and appears on the UK version of the "Lithium" single and later on disc 2 of With the Lights Out in 2004.
[edit] Releases
In Australia, 15,000 copies were released. 4,000 on burgundy 12" vinyl, 10,000 on CD, and 1,000 on cassette.
In Japan it was released on CD, and later 12" vinyl, and in large quantities. The two releases have entirely different artwork as and as result, the Australian version is considered rare and, due to the enduring popularity of the band, worth several hundred dollars.
