A deluxe reissue of Nirvana’s In Utero will be released on October 27th, 2023 to coincide with the album’s 30th anniversary.

Nirvana’s In Utero was previously reissued in 2013 to coincide with its 20th anniversary. That version included a new stereo mix from producer Steve Albini, B-Sides, demos, and other outtakes, and a recording of the band’s 1993 Live and Loud concert.
Albini recently opened up about the lengths he and the band went to keep the album’s recording sessions a secret.
