Matt Wallace explains much of it in the vid I've linked below but my take on it it quite simple. They separated the sound so the thing lacks the denseness which made the heavy tracks work, they turned the guitars down and the vocals up, they increased the pitch. Some people love it. The quality of the vinyl, sleeves etc is exceptional. I don't like it much at all.

Now it's only overpriced by $225! Been playing a lot of Puzzle Quest lately. Forgot I had it, addictive little thing. Also BF4.

I humbly apologise for my error.

The only musical difference is that the Anniversary Edition has the bonus LP. The musical content of the 45rpm records are both pressed from the same DMM master made by Pallas GmbH in Germany for Pallas USA in association with Furnace Mfg. They come from difference stampers though, but that is about it. All it is, is a stripped down version sans the bonus disc marketed in a new sleeve and a new subtitle. Similar to when Alive released The Big Come Up in a negative sleeve. It;s just a contrast and helps market the item further. All they;ve done is extend the sales life of the record.

Same mix, both use the same lacquers from the Abbey remastering sessions last year. Cut to DMM. http://www.thelmagazine.com/TheMeasure/archives/2013/09/25/nirvanas-in-utero-2013-mix-examined http://www.nirvana.com/news/nirvana-in-utero-20th-anniversary-reissue-out-september-24 - read the second bullet point. Stories like this: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/nirvanas-in-utero-2013-mix-headed-to-vinyl-20131009 ... have misled some into thinking that the anniversary edition and the 2013 remix are different cuts, they;re not. Read the full thread and you'd be better informed.

Same stampers, so if anything these black covered RSD issues as production continued with stampers wearing out will get progressivbely worse towards the end of the run.

I went through every copy and I after consulting with Discogs staff we were not satisfied that ANY were the repress. As such we removed them all but one which we are waiting for a reply on. It appears that absolutely no copies of Blue were recalled. As such the seller personally asked for a replacement disc, they won't have one. We also found that the one copy that sold through Discogs was also really the mispressed version sold on the wrong page. Remember sealed only means sealed and that the packaging on these is resealable. Look for a confirmed copy which has been checked, perhaps on ebay?When is the last time anyone with the mispress contacted MOV? They may still be replacing them?!

It was myself who reported the problem to them and they just sent me a replacement disc (they actually sent me two). They then asked people to return the faulty record and sent it back with disc 1 replaced. I;ve never seen the replacement available from a distributor as some of those Discogs sellers claim. They claim their distributors say they are repressed but not a single one would agree to check the record because it is "sealed". If I was an customer and ordered one of these I would demand a full refund personally as the item is faulty. Edit: I have also asked MOV directly if repressed/fixed version were sent out to distributors and they have not responded to this and several other queries since they had a tantrum of me adding the single replacement disc to Discogs as a standalone item following advice directly from the Discogs management. Whether people approaching them now are told to get a refund from the seller is another matter, my last comments with MOV was not along those lines and advised that they did not want to discourage direct contact.

Amazon in the UK are always doing this. This is the marketplace page for the fixed Angel Dust pressing on Discogs. I try to clean it up and have asked users selling this to confirm how they know it is the repress. None so far have confirmed the correct runout/matrix inscription but most refused to check because the item is sealed. You could ask some of the sellers to check the vinyl incription for side B to ensure you're getting the repress/2nd press. You'll probably hit abrick wall though as I am also after another repressed copy. Album of the year, Golden Edition: http://www.discogs.com/marketplace?release_id=4822602&ev=rb 11 copies for sale.

I'm surprised you didn't like that cut. Polygram Record Services in Germany had some wonderful staff and made some absolutely phenomenal records. I've not hear their cut of In Utero but is it the pressing or just a crap final cut that was sent to everyone at the time? I know that their pressing of Faith No More's Introduce Yourself on Metronome Records was one of the best versions I've heard.

The same lacquer was used for the Black Friday version as the Anniversary edition, just a new stamper used. There is absolutely no sound difference between the RSD version and the Anniversary Editon. Both were mastered using DMM.

If people wanted that to happen (I want a B-sides album) I;m not sure who you'd petition. I don;t think the band get much say on their old catalogue any more and Warner seem to be a nightmare to contact.

The last time WCAL was meant to be reissued it was meant to be part of a CD reissue series by Warner called "Forever Young" in Japan, last year. Two weeks before shipping the release was cancelled. I'm not certain, but it's probably because of issues between Mordam Records who owned the rights, London Records who were the last licensees (they leapfrogged Slash) which bsically cust Slash and Warner out of the loop) and Warner who now handle the Slash catalogue in Europe. If London maintained the rights when the catalogue transferred to Universal around 2003, then Warner will not be able to release it without significant struggle. I suspect that Warner cannot get a license for it.
