30-04-2026
Hal Leonard has announced the release of “Nirvana – The Complete Scores”, a new deluxe hardcover collector’s edition celebrating the music of NIRVANA. Designed for fans, musicians, and collectors, this premium volume features a protective slipcase, high-quality production, and an elevated presentation worthy of one of rock’s most influential bands.
Spanning all three of the band’s landmark studio albums — “Bleach”, “Nevermind” and “In Utero” — along with the iconic “MTV Unplugged In New York” album, the collection includes 51 note-for-note transcriptions drawn directly from the original recordings. Every guitar part, bass line, drum groove, vocal melody, and lyric is meticulously captured, offering an unprecedented look inside the songs that defined a generation.
“The Complete Scores” provides a unique opportunity to study NIRVANA‘s music in detail, whether for performance, education, or deeper appreciation. With its combination of musical accuracy and premium design, the edition serves as both a comprehensive resource and a collectible keepsake.
Featured songs include “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, “Come As You Are”, “Heart-Shaped Box”, “All Apologies”, “About A Girl”, “The Man Who Sold The World” and many more.
This release continues Hal Leonard‘s acclaimed “Complete Scores” series, which also includes collections for artists such as QUEEN, RUSH, PEARL JAM and THE BEATLES.
“Nirvana – The Complete Scores” is available now from music stores, bookstores, and halleonard.com, with a suggested retail price of $89.99.

Back in December 2019, NIRVANA‘s video for “Smells Like Teen Spirit” officially hit one billion views on YouTube.
“Nevermind” would come to be much more than one of the most successful and influential albums of all time. It returned rock ‘n’ roll integrity and passion to the top of the charts and continues to be a singular inspiration to fans and musicians alike over the last three decades — and generations to come. It has been credited over the years with helping to kill off hair metal.
Charles R. Cross, the author of “Heavier Than Heaven”, a biography of Cobain, told Today.com about the mega-success of “Nevermind”: “It’s an incredible album. It would have been a hit whenever it was released. But at the same time, the timing was right for there to be a superstar act like NIRVANA. It came right at the end of the death knell of hair metal and the world was screaming for rock music that would be meaningful again. And the timing for a new generation wanting a voice was also ideal. It just so happened that everything came together at the exact right moment when rock needed a revolution.”
