We were told the Nirvana vault was empty and that there was no more music to be heard. Apparently not. Look at this.

[For years, we were told that everything Kurt and Nirvana had ever done has been released. That turns out not to be the case. I guess they weren”t talking about stuff like this. Another report from Elisa F.G. – AC]

“Who do you think of when I say “grunge music”? I asked assuming (like many) that I could stump the AI app in my phone. I confidently thought to myself that there was no way a bot would answer with…

“When the words ‘grunge music’ echo through the air, a certain Seattle-based band immediately springs to mind – none other than the iconic Nirvana” the app responded.

Well I’ll be damned. Bots got taste!

If you haven’t heard, Nirvana’s third and final album In Utero is being re-released October 27, 2023, in honour of its 30th anniversary and among the 12 raw emotional tunes fans have played on repeat since it’s inception, 53 previously unreleased tracks are being included in this massive vinyl re-release, listing 72 tracks in total.

Stacked with bonus’s as is, fans are also getting restored material from the original soundboard tapes from Nirvanas live shows engineered by grunge movement veteran Jack Endino. Live performances from their 1993 concert in L.A. as well as the bands 1994 Seattle set, are among the expanded track list.

Originally released September 21st 1993 and re-released ten years ago for the albums 20th anniversary, In Utero’s latest reissue comes in a few physical variations – a limited-edition 5xCD Super Deluxe box set, an 8xLP Super Deluxe box set, a 2xCD Deluxe Edition, a 1xLP Vinyl Edition and a Digital Super Deluxe edition.

Identical tracks and audio, all formats seem to only differ in packaging and bonus’s. The CD and Vinyl Super Deluxe sets both come with a removable acrylic front-cover, a 48-page book as well as unreleased photos, a fanzine, a tour poster lithograph, replicas, gig fliers, ticket stubs and the highly coveted (faux) Backstage Passes. If you’re already sold, pre-orders are available with the price tags ranging from $19.98 up to $324.98 for the chunkier editions, with the option to pay in instalments, phew!

As if the anticipation of the albums reissue isn’t painful enough… here’s your track listing!
