Whenever I want to hear the perfect first song on side A of any album, I listen to "Rotten Apple" from this pressing. The sound is unreal.
Although I've made a lot of purchases on Discogs over the past 18 months, this is one that I bought originally bitd and is one of the best sounding records in my collection. Maybe not in the top 5 but def in the top 20 (out of 500-ish). Musically it is in my top 10.
All around perfect really.- Snagged one of these on eBay for $15, shipped. Guy had NO idea what he had. Vinyl is probably NM-, outer sleeve VG+
Nutshell always reminds me of '94. What a great year both music wise and personal life. My deepest friend Hubricka first let me hear his copy of this legendary release, because I was too broke to buy it at the time. I was absolutely floored and instantly saved up to buy it. He just passed yesterday 7/4/22 and I'm now listening to this in his memory. Love you bro, RIP.- Just got this version. This record sounds so good, definitely a must own.
- I would trade my new MOV copy for this if anyone is interested...thanks!
I like how theres a duration for the etching on side 4 lol
One of my best records, I have a NM copy, no surface noise, crystal clear recording, Bass is killer on this. I had the 2010 MOV Version and this is hands down better. I also had the 1994 Korean copy which is a joke. The Korean version sounds like you turn the treble and bass all the way down. This 1994 US pressing is the one.- Sound is absolutely spectacular; one of my favorites to listen to (both musically and sonically)
TIP: just get the cheaper "music on vinyl copies", Seriously, 100$ for this!!!
