BEIJING, Oct. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- Nirvana's "MTV Unplugged" is ready for a DVD release Nov. 20, media reported Sunday.

As the first Nirvana product to appear following Kurt Cobain's suicide April 1994, "MTV Unplugged in New York" was released Nov. 1, 1994, on CD.

Like the CD, the Universal Music DVD will include the songs "Something in the Way" and "Oh Me," which did not appear on the original MTV broadcast. The DVD also sports four tracks from the band's soundcheck and previously unreleased behind-the-scenes footage.

Nirvana's "Unplugged" is arguably the most famous in the long-running series, as the band eschewed most of its hits in favor of lesser-known album tracks and obscure covers (particularly, three Meat Puppets songs).
