DESCRIPTION:
A complete version of the Fecal Matter demo tape, Illiteracy Will Prevail, using multiple sources for the best possible sound. (Combination of SBD #1a, SBD#1b, SBD#1c, SBD#1d, and SBD#2.) A lot of the silence and some of the noise between the songs were edited out to give it a more CD-friendly tracking. The album cover and back is a mock-up made by 2Gex, edited by me to feature the missing tracks. Please note that some of the song titles aren't official.

A month after I posted this, a lossless version of the tape circulated, making this video kind of outdated! Check out RareNirvana's page for the remaster of it, or download it in the description!

Following the departure of Greg Hokanson, Fecal Matter continued to rehearse as a two-piece. During Easter Break 1986, Cobain and Crover journeyed up to Burien, to the home of Cobain's aunt Mari Earl, to cut a demo on her 4-track TEAC A-2340 deck.

"He arrived with a huge notebook full of lyrics," recalled Earl. "I showed him how to adjust a few things, how to record with the reel-to-reel, and he went right at it. The drums were strong and forceful," Earl remarked. "The guitar riffs were fast and furious, with a powerful hook. The lyrical content was rebellious and angry. Mostly slams against society in general. Kurt didn't like the social ladder in school. Kids thinking they were cool because they wore the 'right' clothes or were handsome or pretty, or had money. His songs back then reflected his opinions about these things."

Fecal Matter continued to rehearse for a while, albeit with an altered line-up—Buzz Osborne assuming bass duties and Mike Dillard drums—but the project quickly dissolved.

After several months of foisting copies of the demo onto friends and associates, Illiteracy Will Prevail finally caught the attention of Osborne's friend, Krist Novoselic. Novoselic was impressed enough that he approached Cobain about forming a band.
