I just saw a copy of the "Nirvana" hits album as a HFPA blu-ray audio for sale. Not sure if people know about it, but it seems new.

It's more of a compilation of In Utero and Nevermind with the addition of some MTV unplugged tracks.
If I see it REAL cheap, I'll probably purchase it. Otherwise, I have In Utero and Nevermind on BD~A.

The Wikipedia article indicates a variety of sources. And I think the track listing is the original one, with only one unplugged track.

One unreleased song is included (You Know You're Right) and a remix of Pennyroyal tea and two MTV Unplugged songs are also included which may make it a worthwhile compilation of sorts.
When the price is right, I'll swoop on it.

It's also got a track from Bleach on it as well as some non-album singles and the alternate "single" version of Pennyroyal Tea. Would be interesting to know whether there is much difference in sound quality between the Blu-ray release and the existing CDs.

In my opinion, the predictable failure of BD-A as a format can be explained by the choice to provide high quality audio only on an intended video format.
The same mistake had already been made with DVD-A. Only SA-CD is a logical product.
A simple fact: people who listen to music and expect the maximum quality tend to process all their music through a DAC these days. Whether the music comes from a CD player or from a computer or whatever. With a blu-ray disc you simply cannot do that, 24bit / 96Khz format won't play through regular spdif digital outputs (there are very few DAC's like the Nad M51 who actually have an HDMI input). Knowing that the vast majority of blu-ray players are not up to the task when it comes to deliver true audiophile sound through the analog RCA outputs, how exactly do you plan on making the most of the recordings pressed onto BD-A ?
I succeeded in doing that by ripping the content of those discs and then playing back the wav files through foobar2000, but what a painful way to make use of the blu-ray ! As the same content in hi-res files is available online to purchase most of the time, there is almost no point in purchasing High Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray discs !
