Story “Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don’t have any surface noise. I said, “Listen, mate, life has surface noise.” - John Peel That surface noise is one of the warm, fuzzy charms of analog recordings that aficionados, recording artists, and turntable enthusiasts alike treasure about vinyl — Tom Waits even went so far as to record sizzling bacon and add it to digital tracks to capture a semblance of the often-imitated-never-duplicated feel of vinyl. Whether it’s a warm summer night with the windows wide open or a chilly winter evening with the fire going, we love having a few friends over, serving up some drinks, and starting up the turntable with the sounds of our favorite records. Why We Love Vinyl Unique packaging produced just for vinyl, including the album cover, sleeve, inserts, and records Superior lossless audio quality compared to digital formats Interactive, engaged listening experience — from choosing the record from your bin to dropping the needle to flipping the record Owning the physical copy of the music rather than a digital file, plus most vinyl comes with a digital download included for on-the-go listening About this Record Hail, hail the 90s! A decade that burst forth with all the pain, pride & experimentation of a neon green slap bracelet. Musically-speaking it was the best of times and worst of times, but into this foamy, cultural hot tub came High/Low, Nada Surf’s 1996 debut. The release unexpectedly found a rocket ship in the form of MTV Buzz Bin, the popular comp series that picked up hit single “Popular” and pulled the band into a different atmosphere in the process. The ironic reading of tips on how to be popular threw a javelin into the heart of a generation of teenagers who understood the pain & humor of the joke on a very real level. What was missed by many, however, was that bookending this hooky pop single was a classic album. As often happens with cultural history, things take time to fully reveal themselves and in the case of High/Low we’re glad to be able to highlight an exceptional album, fully realized and deserving of your head and heart. - VMP This special edition was pressed exclusively for VMP and includes: 150g orange color vinyl Gatefold jacket 8 page lyric/liner notes booklet First stand-alone vinyl pressing By The Numbers Format Single LP Speed 33 1/3 RPM Size 12" Weight Standard Color Orange yellow Release Type Reissue Original Release Year 1996
