===''Bleach''===
A second studio version was recorded by Endino at Reciprocal in December 1988, and was released on ''Bleach'' on June 15, 1989.

The ''Bleach'' version of "Blew" was accidentally recorded one step lower than the band had intended, which contributed to what Nirvana biographer [[Michael Azerrad]] called its "extraordinarily heavy sound".<ref name="Doubleday">{{cite book |last=Azerrad |first=Michael |title=Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana |date=1994 |publisher=Doubleday |isbn=0-385-47199-8 |page=100}}</ref> Not realizing that they had already tuned to their favored D Standard tuning, the band tuned further down to [[Drop C tuning|Drop C]] on the first day of the sessions and recorded several songs in that tuning. As bassist [[Krist Novoselic]] recalled in a 2009 ''[[Seattle Times]]'' article, "we came back the next day and decided the idea wasn't so hot, and we recorded over most of it with things tuned back up a little. In fact, 'Blew', with that growly bass, is the only survivor of that experiment."<ref name="Seattle Weekly">{{cite news |last=Novoselic |first=Krist |title=Bleach: Krist Novoselic Interviews Chad Channing |url=https://www.seattleweekly.com/music/bleach-krist-novoselic-interviews-chad-channing/ |access-date=February 1, 2020 |work=Seattle Weekly |date=October 27, 2009}}</ref>

====''Blew'' EP====
The ''Bleach'' version of "Blew" was re-released on the ''Blew'' EP in November 1989, along with the ''Bleach'' mix of "Love Buzz" and the previously-unreleased songs "[[Been a Son]]" and "Stain", which had been recorded by [[Steve Fisk]] at Music Source in Seattle, Washington in September 1989. The band's original plan had been to release an EP to promote their upcoming European tour, but the EP was delayed and released exclusively in the United Kingdom a few days before the final tourdate in London. However, the EP built on the interest the band had generated in the UK with ''Bleach'', and was promoted by English DJ [[John Peel]], who had also played ''Bleach'' on his influential show. The ''Blew'' EP eventually peaked at number 15 on the UK Indie chart.<ref name="ukindie"/><ref name="MelodyMaker15"/>
