About the album.

In Utero is the third and final studio album from Nirvana, a raw alternative rock record released on DGC in September 1993 as the follow-up to Nevermind.

The band recorded it with Steve Albini at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, over two weeks in February 1993, chasing something rougher than the polish of its predecessor. Scott Litt later remixed ‘Heart-Shaped Box’ and ‘All Apologies’ for release, and cellist Kera Schaley, the only musician on the album outside the band, joins on ‘Dumb’ and ‘All Apologies’.

It reached number one in both the US and the UK, with ‘Heart-Shaped Box’ and ‘All Apologies’ among its singles.

This pressing is part of Universal’s Back To Black series, on 180 gram vinyl with an insert carrying the lyrics, photographs and credits.

Critics heard it as a drastic departure from Nevermind. Bleach, the 1989 Sub Pop debut, shows where that rawness started, and MTV Unplugged In New York, recorded later in 1993, recasts ‘Dumb’, ‘Pennyroyal Tea’ and ‘All Apologies’ acoustically, with cello.
