This year is the 30th anniversary of Nirvana’s final studio album “In Utero” and to mark the occasion a 30th anniversary box set will be released later this fall.
The super deluxe version of the box set will feature 72 tracks total, including 53 previously unreleased live recordings and two full concerts from the band’s “In Utero” tour. The concerts are “Live in Los Angeles” a recording of the band’s Dec. 30, 1993 concert at the Great Western Forum, and “Live in Seattle” a recording of Nirvana’s Jan/ 7, 1994 concert at the Seattle Center Arena.” The Seattle concert was part of a two-night stint at Seattle Center Arena which were the band’s final shows in Seattle.
Jacke Endino, who famously produced “Bleach” and just about every other grunge album you love, remastered the live tracks from stereo soundboard tapes. Additionally, “In Utero” along with the six album b-sides that are a part of the box set, were remastered from the original analog tapes by Bob Weston, the engineer who assisted “In Utero” producer Steve Albini during the album’s recording sessions.
The box set will be released on Oct. 27 in various formats. The super deluxe version is the only one that includes both concerts in full and is available in eight-LP vinal format or a five-CD version. Here are the complete details of each version:
IN UTERO: 30TH ANNIVERSARY (8-LP SUPER DELUXE)
