Puss/Oh, the Guilt is a split single from the rock bands The Jesus Lizard and Nirvana, released via Touch and Go Records.
It was released on February 15, 1993, and includes the songs Puss by the Jesus Lizard and Oh, the Guilt by Nirvana. The cover art for the single is a painting by Malcolm Bucknall called Old Indian and White Poodle.
Puss/Oh, the Guilt peaked at number 12 on the UK singles chart; it was The Jesus Lizard‘s first and only hit single in the UK, and Nirvana‘s sixth. Puss first appeared on the 1992 album, Liar and was recorded by Steve Albini, who would later record Nirvana‘s third and final album, In Utero.
The video for Puss showed a man being welded in a chair, so it was banned from some television stations. Oh, the Guilt was recorded by Barrett Jones on April 7, 1992 in Seattle, Washington.
The song was re-released in 2004 on the Nirvana rarities box set, With the Lights Out, and in 2005 on the compilation album, Sliver: The Best of the Box, although on these latter releases the song was remixed by Adam Kasper, and does not include the sound of lighter clicks present on the original mix.
