Nirvana is marking the 30th anniversary of In Utero, their third and final studio album, with a big reissue release.

Due out October 27, the In Utero reissue will be available in a variety of digital and physical formats. The physical formats include:

-a 1LP and 10" vinyl set
-a 2CD deluxe set
-a 5CD super deluxe set
-an 8LP super deluxe set

The super deluxe sets will undoubtedly intrigue Nirvana fans. These sets will feature 72 tracks, with 53 of them being previously unreleased. The unreleased tracks feature two full In Utero-era concerts: A 1993 show recorded in Los Angeles and a 1994 show recorded in Seattle, which was Nirvana's final performance in their hometown.

In addition to the unreleased tracks, the In Utero super deluxe box sets also feature the following:

-a 48-page hardcover book with unreleased photos
-a 20-page newly designed fanzine
-a Los Angeles tour poster lithograph by hot rod artist Coop
-replicas of the 1993 record store promo Angel mobile
-three gig fliers
-two ticket stubs for Los Angeles and Seattle
-an All-Access tour laminate
-four cloth sticky tour backstage passes: Press, Photo, After Show, and Local Crew.

In Utero remains beloved among rock fans. When it was first released, David Fricke wrote in a review for Rolling Stone, "'In Utero' is a lot of things—brilliant, corrosive, enraged and thoughtful, most of them all at once. But more than anything, it’s a triumph of the will."

The In Utero reissue is available for pre-order here.
