Back on Record Store Day 2012, Nirvana put out a 20th anniversary double-vinyl reissue of their essential 1992 rarities compilation Incesticide. It was just a limited release, but now, for its 25th anniversary, it’ll get a proper release on January 13TH 2017. It was remastered from the original analog master tapes and recording sources by Bernie Grundman.
It’s a little less exciting than the 20th anniversary reissues of Nevermind and In Utero, which came with tons of awesome bonus content, but still cool news for Nirvana completists.

Incesticide was a Geffen cash-grab, a collection of cobbled-together recordings released in 1992 at the height of Nirvana’s popularity.
While the motivation behind the collection may not have been too pure, it remains a brilliant and fascinating record, and a vital element in understanding just how great the band were.
The album contains quirky covers of the likes of Devo and The Vaselines which hint at Cobain’s new wave and pop influences, outsider art such as ‘Beeswax’ and ‘Mexican Seafood’, and some of their finest material ever recorded (‘Dive’, ‘Aneurysm’ and the irrepressible ‘Sliver’). And now you can buy it on double-vinyl, to celebrate the record’s 25th anniversary.
