Where'd the solo version come from? I mean, a certain bootleg?

from wikipedia:
in 1998, a
boombox recording of the song performed by Nirvana (with significantly different lyrics) was surfaced by Seattle newspaper
The Stranger. In the article that accompanied the clip, Novoselic confirmed that the recording was made in 1991 and that "Old Age" was a Nirvana song, leading to more speculation about Cobain's involvement in Hole's catalog. Nirvana had even attempted to record "Old Age" during the sessions for
Nevermind, but it was left incomplete as Cobain had yet to finish the lyrics and the band had run out of studio time. (The incomplete recording appeared on the 2004 compilation
With the Lights Out, credited to Cobain.)
