Nirvana In Utero Anniversary Edition Due

Remastered final album to be released, packaged with a host of previously unreleased tracks

Universal have announced that they’ll be marking the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s In Utero with a mammoth, multi-format reissue of the album. The label are corralling "70 remastered, remixed, rare, unreleased and live recordings", including the complete MTV Live and Loud concert, into a number of versions, going from a straight remaster to the full "3-CD/1-DVD Super Deluxe Edition", all of which will be out on September 23.

Daniel Ross recently celebrated the album entering its third decade in a Quietus anniversary piece, stating: "[I]f you’re not counting the endearingly slap-dash bindle-bundle of session tracks and doodles that was Incesticide, In Utero is their howl at the moon, their schizophrenic apogee, their gunshot into the abyss."

Read the piece in full here, and watch the band perform the album’s closing track ‘All Apologies’ for their MTV Unplugged show below:
