Notes

Garbage is the debut studio album by American rock band Garbage, released on August 15, 1995 by Mushroom Records. The album was met with critical acclaim and was viewed by some journalists as an innovative recording for its time. It reached number 20 on the US Billboard 200 and number six on the UK Albums Chart, while reaching the top 20 and receiving multi-platinum certifications in several territories. The album's success was helped by the band promoting it on a year-long tour, including playing on the European festival circuit and supporting the Smashing Pumpkins throughout 1996, as well as by a run of increasingly successful singles culminating with "Stupid Girl", which received Grammy Award nominations for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group in 1997.

Does anyone know if this Super Deluxe Edition is still availabe somewhere to purchase in FLAC format? It was still on 7DIGITAL a while ago but now when I was going to purchase it. It appears that almost all Garbage discography is completely gone off that platform.

Not really worth buying now the album has been reissued and is more affordable. That said, this pirated version is actually excellent. Decent packaging that, at a glance, could easily pass for the real thing. The sound quality is surprisingly good, especially noticeable on tracks like Stupid Girl with good stereo separation and no noticeable distortion. As far as pirated copies go, this is right up there among the best I've heard.

The original releases and the 7-inch box set are the definitive way of listening to this album. It sounds amazing compared to the remaster

This pressing sounds amazing! Solid packaging, no warping, dead silent surface noise. Perfect. 🙏🏽🔊🔊

Properly good sounding recond, both this and the black version. Garbage first 3 albums are all brilliant records and have reallt all been re issued quite spectacularly, well worth picking up cant imagine them sounding better

Just picked this one up. It sounds amazing. Had no idea that it was 45rpm.

Heavily brickwalled and loud. Vinyl is leagues better. Great album though

Some platforms (Amazon, Spotify, iTunes) inexplicably list this as four discs, which I don't really understand for a digital-only release.

It could be split up logically: album, b-sides, remixes, and previously unreleased.

But they have one 'disc' with the album + b-sides, one with some of the remixes, one with Stupid Girl and Queer remixes, one with the rest of the previously released remixes, and one of the previously unreleased material.

I am struggle to understand the logic behind that split of the remixes.

Took two goes but managed a good copy.... first copy had non filled disc1 one second copy had non filled disc 2. Kept both good discs and only a hint of warp stops the pressings from being perfect. YMMV here.

Mastering is lovely, running at 45rpm always sounds better to me as evidenced in the many AP 33/45 editions i own of identical masterings... the 45 always sounds abit more open and clear/clean
