Nirvana’s ‘In Utero’ 2013 Mix Headed to Vinyl

Nirvana‘s final album, In Utero, was recently celebrated in a deluxe 20th anniversary reissue. Original producer Steve Albini revisited the album – with full blessings from bandmembers Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic – for a “2013 Mix.” Audiophiles can get their hands on this reworking November 29th, when the modern mix is released as a 45 RPM, 180-gram limited edition double vinyl on Black Friday for November’s Record Store Day. The record was mastered at Abbey Road Studios with alternative artwork specific to the release.

Q&A: Dave Grohl on Kurt’s Last Days and the Making of ‘In Utero’

Last months, Grohl reflected on the album’s recording process with Rolling Stone’s David Fricke. “Recording with Steve [Albini] – he would hit ‘record,’ we’d do a take, and he’d go [claps hands], ‘Okay, what’s next?’ Wait, is it okay?” Grohl said. “We blazed through In Utero. I was done after three days. I had another 10 fucking days to sit in the snow, on my ass with nothing to do.”
