Nirvana 30th Anniversary 'In Utero' Reissue to Feature 53 Unreleased Tracks

The 30th anniversary of Nirvana's swan song, In Utero, will be commemorated this year with a new reissue. It will be released on October 27 in a number of formats — including a massive 8LP/5CD super deluxe box set — and feature a total of 53 unreleased tracks, including two previously unheard full-length concert records from the In Utero tour.

Originally released on September 21, 1993, In Utero became the trio's first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 charts following the acclaim of their 1991 major-label debut, Nevermind. The album was previously reissued in 2013 to coincide with its 20th anniversary. In addition to the box sets, the 30th anniversary edition will also be available on 1LP plus 10-inch and 2CD formats, as well as a digital release of the 72-track super deluxe.

Among those 72 tracks are two full concert recordings: 1993's Live in Los Angeles, and the band's final hometown gig, 1994's Live in Seattle. There are also six bonus live tracks from shows in Rome, Springfield and New York, reconstructed by Jack Endino from stereo soundboard tapes.

The album tracklist is bolstered by five bonus tracks and B-sides — "Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip," "Marigold," "Sappy," "Moist Vagina" and "I Hate Myself and Want to Die" — remastered by Bob Weston, who assisted engineer Steve Albini during the original In Utero sessions.

Physical formats of In Utero (30th Anniversary Edition) are available for pre-order. The super deluxe box sets come with a removable front acrylic panel with the iconic album artwork, as well as a 48-page hardcover book with unreleased photos. There's also a 20-page fanzine, a Los Angeles tour poster lithograph by Coop and replicas of the 1993 record store promo angel mobile, in addition to three gig fliers, two ticket stubs for Los Angeles and Seattle shows, an all-access tour laminate and four backstage passes.
