It's back-to-back thirtieth anniversary album posts at SPB (not to hint at our age or anything).

Nirvana's classic Nevermind album celebrates its thirtieth anniversary -- originally released on Sept. 24, 1991 -- with a new deluxe edition coming Nov. 12. The new arrangement varies by format, including an 8LP+7" pack, a 5CD pack, and a Blu-Ray.

To release via Geffen/UMe, the collection features 94 tracks (audio and video counted), with 70 previously unreleased. All of them were remastered from the original analog tapes. The collection includes four full live shows.
