burntwolf Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I may have asked this before, but I can't remember... Are the only official releases of Soundgarden-Badmotorfinger the original 1991? On black or trans yellow? Was there an official 2004 Euro re-release or all the rest of those bootlegs? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 There is a legit Euro release that is still available. It is vanilla packaging with what appears to be, blown-up cd art work with no insert. The OG had different back cover art and an insert. A legit new copy will have the famous 320 stamper in the matrix. Some people think just because it has 320 that it's great. I think my OG yellow copy's SQ is much better than my euro reissue, but the OG also seems to suffer from a bit more inner groove distortion than the more recent press.

burntwolf Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 ah. my OG yellow looks NM but sound-wise it is really VG/VG-, lots of surface noise in any quiet section, esp on b-side...i've tried cleaning it multiple ways but that stuff is ground in there good... so i was considering looking for a better copy.... but i'm also hoping MoV does a reissue or that w/ the new album coming out that reissues are in the works... what is the famous 320 stamper? i'm out of the loop on the famous...

youspinmeround Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 This record should be a 2xlp.; Nearly 60 minutes of awesomeness should not be put on one lp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the matrix numbers in the deadwax it has the numbers 320. Im not an expert on it, but there were a series of masters done in germany of some famous 90's stuff that has 320 in it and some people think they are really well done. The most famous is the version of In Utero, which has the original albini mix of the singles. This record should be a 2xlp.; Nearly 60 minutes of awesomeness should not be put on one lp 2 LP 45RPM please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
