Low End Theory. All ATCQ records are in regular rotation on the stereo.
If I want Nirvana I go str8 for Unplugged.

Ask me sometime about how I played on the same bill with Grohl right before In Utero came out. True story

Unplugged sounds pretty good on vinyl on the 2LP 25th Anniversary version.

An OGish CD
A 1991 cassette
A 2009 Pressing of the vinyl (I bought this before I even started buying records again - initially just to frame)
Recent Target Silver pressing vinyl
Will be buying:
The upcoming 8LP version next year
Will possibly consider:
The 4LP version from 2011 (has the Vig demos and all IIRC) if I can find for a decent price
The 2LP version coming in November, just cause
This and "Automatic for the People" are easily my most listened to albums of all time. Probably both tied for my favorite album.
This, coupled with the fact that I had a pumpkin iced coffee today solidifies me as a basic B. lol

Must say I agree. I have a Spotify subscription, too, but l view it as renting and not owning.

Can I tell the story, Midge? Please?
Okay, we were mixing the first Sleeper record. The engineer/studio owner had a friend over and was telling said friend how terrible he thought NEVERMIND sounded. We (maybe just you?) were so offended by his opinion that we (you?) told him, in front of his friend, "If you don't think NEVERMIND sounds amazing, maybe we shouldn't have you mixing our record!" It was said half-jokingly, but when his friend left he freaked out and asked that we take his name off the record, as well as the name of the studio. Then he left us alone to essentially mix the thing by ourselves, only coming in to the control room if we had a technical question. Good times.
If I am mis-remembering things, please feel free to correct. Maybe it wasn't a friend but a potential client he was talking with?

It's your ears and your memory, gramps.
And no, have never owned it.

It was recorded at Sound City, so that would make sense. But that record owes so much of its sound to Andy Wallace's mixes, and I'm not sure where those were done.

We recorded much of last of the sharpshooters there. And it doesn't sound all that special, to me. So yeah, mostly Andy Wallace. Though the hype that the drum room at sound city garnered after they did nevermind there (that's why we recorded there) certainly kept the lights on in that place for several years.

Purpose would be to eliminate bleed onto the other tracks. Seems insane, but I guess if any drummer could manage that feat it would be Grohl.
