The 2013 Mix from Nirvana's recent 20th Anniversary edition of In Utero is set to be released on vinyl next month. 

To commemorate 20 years since the release of Nirvana's seminal and final album, the record's producer revisited the tracks to give them a new edge and modern mix. 

The 2013 Mix will be released as a 45RPM, 180-gram limited edition vinyl on 29 November, 2013 on Black Friday for November's Record Store Day in the US. It is yet to be confirmed how fans in the UK and elsewhere will be able to purchase the album.

The new version of In Utero comes complete with new alternative artwork.

Last month, former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl spoke to Rolling Stone magazine about the release of the 20th anniversary of In Utero - asking fans to listen to the record on its own merits, without thinking of Kurt Cobain's suicide.

"The album should be listened to as it was the day it came out," he said. "That's my problem with the record. I used to like to listen to it. And I don't any more, because of that.To me, if you listen to it without thinking of Kurt dying, you might get the original intention of the record.

Grohl continued: "Like my kids. They know I was in Nirvana. They know Kurt was killed. I haven't told them that he killed himself. They're four and seven years old. So when they listen to 'In Utero', they'll have that fresh perspective – the original intention of the album, as a first-time listener. Someday they will learn what happened. And it'll change that. It did for me."
