Nirvana – MTV Unplugged In New York

Like many others, I noticed a light crackle and pop at first, but it wasn’t terrible. However, after only a couple of spins almost half of the songs skip, without any visible scratches that I can see. Definitely a pressing to avoid.

I guess I got really lucky. My pressing sounds great. Cleaned it when I got it, and there’s no pops whatsoever. The volume might be a little low, but there is about 27/28 minutes a side, so that’s to be expected.

Cleaned this record 10 times now because of all the crackle and pops, went to look at the reviews and see it's not just me that thinks this is crap. One more Nirvana unpluged for sale!!

Do not, I repeat, do not buy this pressing if you haven't already. Many, but not all, of the the Back to Black reissues from around 2008 are terrible, and are usually defined by the red stickers. The newest Back to Black reissues are the black sticker ones.

This is the 2016 Back to Black reissue, and it sounds great. I suspect that anyone who has a good review on the 2008 repress page probably has the 2016 repress instead (an easy mistake to make, seeing as both have the same catalog numbers).

Worst sound than bootlegs. Never buy Nirvana from Back to Black.

why do people make a digital vinyl ?? if i would care about digital i would get the cd ..

Don't know what people are complaining about with the "crackle and pop" and the dust. Clean it? It's perfect for me. The sound quality is great, and everything to do with the packaging is nicely produced. The picture at the front is probably as blurry as it was because it was taken in 1993--an aspect that is only to do with the camera it was taken on. Also, it wasn't remastered, it was reissued. Overall, pretty awesome.

EDIT (from over a year later): Okay, so I've always wondered what people had against a lot of the Back to Black reissues, because I've generally had wonderful experiences with them. The packaging is really good on some, amazing on others, the pressing is fantastic, never remastered, on 180g vinyl, and it comes with a download code. But, the thing that I've found with my Back to Black reissues is that the sticker on the cover is always black. And whenever I search these up on Discogs, they're always reissues from about 2015/16. The red ones are usually from about 2007/08, and they are the ones that always seem to have terrible reviews (they're also the ones that are sometimes remastered as well).

The pressing I had turned out to be a 2016 repress, and not the one from 2008 (an easy mistake to make, since the catalog numbers of both are identical). I suspect that anyone who has a good review on this page probably has the same pressing as me, and not the 2008 one that people seem to hate so much. The sticker on the front doesn't say Back to Black on it, but you can tell that it is still part of the same series because of the font and layout. Instead, like many other recent Back to Black Nirvana releases, it just says "Nirvana" (and underneath, it just talks about the download voucher).

Overall, my advice is that you keep an eye out for the more recent Back to Black reissues. I haven't had any bad experiences with them, and whenever I see a review of someone who has the exact same copy, they have always been good (unless they received a mispress).

Just put on the record player, for me is perfect and sounds great. Very quiet and no crackle pop. Excellent. I am very satisfied.

My copy was very dirty, sound quality was okaish at best

I can also confirm that this pressing has way too much snap crackle pop. Very disappointed.
