Notes

Sticker on shrink wrap reads:
"Music On Vinyl
Classic Album
180 gram audiophile vinyl pressing
www.musiconvinyl.com"

Different tracklisting than the original release. On original release "Down In A Hole" was the second-to-last track, some later reprints move it to track 4 instead. This vinyl version moves it to track 4, which also means the Side B opener ("Dirt") is instead track B2 and the Side A closer ("Junkhead") is the new Side B opener.

B4 is not listed on the jacket or label.

Includes a printed inner sleeve with lyrics & credits.

Tom Araya appears courtesy of Def American Records.

Produced at One on One and Eldorado, 1992.
Mixed at Eldorado.
Mastered at Future Disc, Hollywood, CA.

    I really don’t understand the comments about this being a bad or even average pressing. It’s incredible and a very obvious upgrade from the 2022 repress. I have the original cd + 2022 repress and this MOV pressing is better than those. In terms of audio quality it’s up there with the SAP/JOF MOV pressing and a touch lesser than God-tier AIC Unplugged. Jerry’s guitar tones on this album are elite.

      This is an explosive experience….MOV are true magicians. Really wish we had some MOV versions of soundgarden and pearl jam albums

        Sounds fantastic. I had the CD for years, from when it was released actually and this sounds clean, powerful and sharp as a tack. I’m rapt ….. 🤙🏼

          MOV is on another level comparing to the 2022 reissue, I own both presses

            Sounds phenomenal, but my copy has some pretty serious surface noise, unfortunately. Even after multiple wet cleanings there's still lots of crackles and pops. It's only obvious between tracks so it's not too obnoxious.

              Echo a lot of comments here about cranking this record. I think its the only one i've listened to in my collection where i have to go up to -19.5db on my amp to make it sound best. If not the guitars are a bit lost in the mix.

              For comparison something like PJ Ten i would have at around -21db and most records these days about -25

                It’s a MOV pressing. Nothing more needs to be said really!! Absolutely superb. These guys love vinyl and it shows!!

                    no idea why some people don’t like this pressing. especially if you dig the original mix. it’s definitely a little more “compressed” than the 2022 remix but in my opinion it’s more true to the album. it’s not compressed in the way you think when you hear that word. i’d almost say it’s more focused. the instrument separation is still there and is especially fantastic on Rooster.

                    over all i’m a huge fan of it and will probably spin it more than the 2022 version. plus you don’t have to flip it every 2-3 songs. as long as you crank it up a little extra it should give you absolutely no issues. 8/10

                      Bought it sealed in 2019 for £29.. it sounds like a CD, unsure why so many people are raising the prices for this. The 2022 repress sounds much better
