The band’s final studio album was released on September 23, 1993 and featured hit singles ‘All Apologies’, which famously featured in their MTV Unplugged performance that same year, and ‘Heart Shaped Box’.

On October 27, the landmark album will be reissued in several formats including a limited-edition eight LP super deluxe box set, five CD super deluxe box set, one LP + 10 inch edition, two CD deluxe edition, and a digital super deluxe edition. You can pre-order/pre-save the reissue here.

The three super deluxe editions comprise a total of 72 tracks with 53 previously unreleased tracks.

It also includes two full concerts, including ‘Live In Los Angeles’ (1993) and the band’s final Seattle performance, ‘Live In Seattle’ (1994), in addition to six bonus live tracks from Rome, Springfield, and New York.

Seattle producer and engineer Jack Endino – who helmed the band’s 1988 debut ‘Bleach’ – has reconstructed the live tracks from stereo soundboard tapes for the reissue.

Additionally, ‘In Utero’’s original 12 songs, along with five bonus tracks and B-sides, have been newly remastered from the original analog master stereo tapes by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Services.

The physical super deluxe edition box sets also include a removable front-cover acrylic panel with the album’s iconic Angel, 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, and four cloth sticky tour backstage passes.

The release follows a special reissue of their landmark LP ‘Nevermind’, which was released in 2021.
