Nirvana’s ‘In Utero’ Turns 30 and We’re Screaming, Crying, Throwing Vinyl

Win the Super Deluxe 8LP Box Set

Oh, we’re definitely in a Nirvana mood.

It’s been 30 years since Nirvana dropped In Utero like a barbed wire snuggle, and to celebrate the anniversary of one of the most visceral, misunderstood albums of the ’90s, there’s a giveaway that’ll make any vinyl freak weep tears of distortion.

The team behind the remaster are giving two very lucky fans the chance to win the In Utero: 30th Anniversary Super Deluxe 8LP Box Set — and yes, it’s stacked. We’re talking previously unreleased tracks, massive live shows, rare photos, weird angel merch… basically everything but the smell of a flannel shirt in a sweaty mosh pit.

What’s in the box?

Nirvana didn’t do anything by halves, and this box set is no exception. Here’s what the winners will score:

  • 180-gram vinyl of In Utero + 5 B-sides and bonus tracks (newly remastered)
  • 2 full live shows: Los Angeles ’93 and Seattle ’94
  • 6 extra live tracks from the In Utero tour
  • A 48-page hardcover photo book with previously unreleased pics
  • A 20-page fanzine made just for this box
  • A literal angel-on-acrylic art panel
  • LA show poster litho, 2 ticket stubs
  • Replica promo angel mobile, 3 gig flyers
  • Tour laminate + 4 backstage passes

That’s 72 tracks total — with 53 never-before-heard cuts. If you love Nirvana, this is a time capsule, a museum, a religion.

Nirvana was never just a band

If Nevermind was the door kicker, In Utero was the emotional exorcism. Raw, unpredictable, weirdly pretty — it was grunge without a filter, and it helped redefine what vulnerability could sound like.

Kurt, Krist and Dave gave us something unflinching and strange, and 30 years later, it still slaps. This re-release isn’t just about remembering the past — it’s about celebrating an album that still sounds dangerous.

Do you know which doll was used in the ‘Heart-Shaped Box’ video? Can you name all the lyrics without Google? Prove it. Go take the quiz, score your bragging rights, and maybe — just maybe — snag the collector’s set of your teenage dreams.

Stay unruly.
