SDE Reader Rating

3.0

Universal Music/Polydor will release 30th anniversary editions of Nirvana‘s classic 1991 album Nevermind album, in November.

Even though it only feels like yesterday when the 20th anniversary sets were released, UMC are going for it 5CD+blu-ray and 8LP vinyl (+seven-inch) super deluxe editions. Two-CD and vinyl+seven-inch sets are also on offer.

While the 4CD+DVD set from ten years ago was concerned with alternate mixes, rehearsals, BBC sessions and Live at the Paramount, a decade on and there is a big focus on live performance.

In the 5CD+blu-ray super deluxe, the album itself has been remastered from the original analog tapes (the previous remaster was generally disliked by fans) and added to that are four complete concerts from the Nevermind tour from Amsterdam, Netherlands; Del Mar, California; Melbourne, Australia and Tokyo, Japan. Additionally, a Blu-ray of the complete and newly remastered in HD Live in Amsterdam concert video is included along with a 40-page hardcover book with unreleased photos.

The 8LP super deluxe has the same content as the CD set (sans blu-ray) above but also includes a first-ever seven-inch for ‘Endless, Nameless’ with B-sides ‘Even In His Youth’ and ‘Aneurysm. This also comes with a 40-page hardcover book with unreleased photos.

The two-CD deluxe features the remastered album and highlights from the four concerts which are in the super deluxe editions. A vinyl edition (which also comes with that same seven-inch) features the remastered album and comes in a premium ‘tip-on’ sleeve.

All formats of Nevermind 30 are released on 12 November, except the 8LP vinyl super deluxe which won’t be shipping until 27 May 2022!
