Notes
Album Sales: 2,000,000+
First Release Date: June 1992
The debut studio album from Sublime. It was certified Multi Platinum by the RIAA. "40oz. To Freedom" reached #15 on Billboard's Heatseekers and produced the hit "Date Rape".
One version of this album (released on Skunk Records) had 23 tracks. "Get Out!" and "Rawhide" were included on the original Skunk Records release of the album, but were removed from the later Gasoline Alley/MCA re-release due to legal issues with the samples and other copyrighted material used in them, however, in the album booklet, the lyrics for "Get Out!" are still printed. "Rawhide" had originally been appended at the end of "Date Rape." "We're Only Gonna Die for Our Arrogance" and "Let's Go Get Stoned" had also used unlicensed samples on the original release which were later removed from the songs, hence the two different track lengths listed. Later/current versions of this album now have 22 tracks (not including "Get Out!").

Purchase this variant about 10 years ago and finally decided to open it and give it a listen. Sounds great! ✌️🌴- Edited 3 months agoI have this pressing too. Mine came with the 'Skunk Records Mail Order Catalog Winter 1998' folded in as an insert (which I understand did not come in all copies). The most interesting bits that I will quote straight off the insert below. Key search terms here are 'winter' and '1998', meaning a customer was able to place the order with intent by Skunk Records to fulfill orders in a meaningful and respectable time.
Of interest there are four albums advertised on the Skunk Records Mail Order Winter 1998 that have a known release date, which can be used to ballpark the release of this 1st pressing of '40oz To Freedom'.
First, The Ziggens - Christmas 12". This album is officially titled as 'Three Wise Men and...Dickie'. This is the ONLY catalogued Christmas album released by The Ziggens in 1998 AND one of two albums ever pressed on vinyl via Cornerstone R.A.S. (none on Skunk Records). Additionally 'Pamona Lisa' was released as a CD only, April 28th 1998, preceeding the Christmas album. A few online sources state the Christmas album was released April 6th, 1999.
Second, Filibuster - The Means... released on December 2nd, 1997 on vinyl. An odd one as this predates the mail order flyer by a year.
Third, Fiibuster - New Ruler & The King released early 1998 on vinly and pressed by Renate Records 44359 Dortmund, Austria (currently now in Berlin, Germany). There is another release of this album in vinyl in 1998 by Cornerstone R.A.S.
Fourth, Long Beach Dub Allstars. The exact album title is not stated on the mail order. In late 1998 LBDAS released a promo called 'Long Beach Dub Allstars & Friends'. Not until late September of 1999 did 'Right Back' get released. Though this late release could have been due to the internal drama of the surviving Sublime members leaving the band during the winter of 1999 and may have been the one promised on the mail order, but this is pure conjecture.
My educated guess is this Sublime - 40oz To Freedom 1st pressings started production some time in mid-to-late 1998. For all intents purposes this can be pressed in 1998 BUT sold/in-hand in early 1999:
-The mail order flyer clearly states 'winter 1998'
-The mail order states 'coming soon on vinyl', meaning most all of the promised/offered for sale vinyl records were at the time of winter 1998 being pressed on vinyl with the exception of The Ziggens
-40oz To Freedom listed as a mail order item; meaning this insert was generic and placed in other albums sold as a CD or vinyl by Skunk and Cornerstone R.A.S. such as Secret Hate / Das Clown 1998 release on vinyl and Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, The Ziggens etc. in their 1998 CD releases on Skunk Records
-The quote from Opie shared by user BlackCircleRecord that he lifted from www.sublimedirect.com
The mail order flyer reads as follows:
Comin' on wax....
NEW!!! Skunk Records & Cornerstone R.A.S. VINYL
The Ziggens - Christmas 12" - brand new recording!!!
Fillibuster - The Means... w/ bonus tracks
Filibuster - New Ruler & The King - Euro import w/ bonus tracks (double vinyl)
Sublime - 40oz To Freedom - first ever Sublime album on vinyl! (double vinyl)
Entire Sublime catalog coming soon on vinyl from Skunk including:
Robbin' the Hood, Sublime, Second-hand Smoke, Stand By Your Van**
Das Klown / Secret Hate split 7"
DYF - Not a Good Day For a Picnic 7"
L.B.D.A.S. debut album coming early 1999 on Skunk Records referencing 40oz. To Freedom (2×LP, Album, Club Edition, Reissue, Stereo, Blue Galaxy [Rivers of Babylon]) VMP-RR002
I’m so disappointed. My copy skips pretty badly during “Bad Fish.” I requested a replacement and just received it - but that one skips in the exact same place on the same song. It’s unfortunately because the sound on the rest of it is amazing! I’m not sure what VMP can do now but it does look like a batch of these have a pressing issue leading to skips on “Badfish.”- im looking for just side C and side D disc,pm me if you have copy to sell
Pulled from MTV News website before they went dark - Dated Oct 2, 1999 — Opie Ortiz. "Earlier this year, a vinyl version of 40 Oz. to Freedom was offered on Sublime's retail website (www.sublimedirect.com)"
Likely a 1999 release date, possibly Fall of 1998 as shown in the Fall '98 Skunk Records catalog
Did none of y'all read the track list? It's right there 🤣
Edited one year agoClassic album mixing multiple genres of music including rock, punk, blues, reggae, hip-hop.
QUESTION: My copy has the dingbats font on each edge. Is this normal? Why is it not shown in the photos?- Does… Not… Include… get out!
Not worth your money… very disappointing 
Their best album imo. Especially disc 1, very nostalgic and varied.
Is this really the only version with the OG tracklist?!
