Ditto for the In Utero deluxe edition.

This is true of course. But at the same time this makes for a pretty unique "album length" collection of A-sides/B-sides/live stuff.
Sometimes the super duper deluxe editions and boxed sets can be an overwhelming listen, y'know? Sometimes a more streamlined set is preferred. And then those bigger collections be there as archival sets.
TBH, unless there's a certain song I'm in the mood for, I generally reach for Sliver ("The Best Of The Box") rather than With The Lights Out for instance.
