Nirvana’s Live At The Paramount performance will be released on double vinyl for the very first time next month.

The show was recorded at the Seattle venue on Halloween 1991 – just a month after Nirvana released their classic Nevermind album.

Live At The Paramount will launch on April 12 on heavyweight black vinyl and on limited edition orange vinyl. It'll come with a 12 × 24-inch poster and a sticky cloth VIP pass replica of the original pass used on the night of the show.

The concert was released on DVD and Blu-ray back in 2011 to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Nevermind, while a CD was included in the deluxe box set reissue of the landmark album.

Watch a video trailer for the album below.
