As we reported back in April, there has been a lot of talk about Nirvana's legendary 1992 Reading Festival performance finally getting an official release. Well, today we finally received a firm due date, tracklisting, cover art and all that other good stuff.

Simply entitled Nirvana Live at Reading, the release will come out on November 3 on CD, DVD and as a double CD/DVD set. Universal is handling it and they'll also be releasing a double-vinyl version on November 17.

Universal's version has been "officially sanctioned" by the band's remaining members, and likely also by a certain infamous widow, and will have its video and audio quality restored and remastered.
