FreandlyMan
Be careful with these original pressings of The Fragile: Crackling and pops may be persistent on these editions. This is almost fatal for such a dynamic record. My copy, while well produced, crackles and pops through all six sides of playback despite multiple spinwashes to clear blemishes. If buying an unsealed OG copy of the Fragile, make sure you ask your seller for a sound review beyond a visual grading.
Malanim
I can understand the sticker shock, but I also understand why it's priced this way. This is the first pressing and to a collector, especially if sealed, is of tremendous value. Beyond that, I am unaware of the quantity that were released for the first press, but I would presume there weren't many. Not shameful at all imo; it's a market and people will charge what either the market will bear or what they personally value the item at; supply and demand.
Ral
Shameful that people sell these for $$$'s to people who seriously enjoy and want to to collect the music. Ironic they complain about reissues bringing their prices down. Really? It's the only way for some people to get the music they love. Affordable.
Magis
$150 for this, $45 for the reissue.. jesus christ, that's still insane.
Nicanagy
Repress is repress & the original stays original......forever! Very simple...
Ahieones
The $150 is the seller asking price AFTER the news of a repress. This WAS selling for a median price of $272 before....$45 for a 3 LP album with the profits going to the artist instead of some second hand seller isn't bad at all IMO...I pre-ordered the $45 repress without a blink of an eye, but that's just me. Can't wait to have this on vinyl!
Brannylv
Why would anybody pay the astronomical prices for this.There is going to be a 2017 reissue. It's available for pre order now from the official NIN web store.
Cezel
Just got my NM copy at a bargain cost of $300. The sound is (above the surface noise) superb, and much deeper than the digital copy I own. I feel it's worth the cost considering the availability, the greatness of the music, and the age of the vinyl. $300 is a fair asking price considering the seller paid the ridiculous asking price when it was released ($40). I remember holding this record in the record shop and saying to myself "$40 is too much," so I passed on it... boy am I sorry I did that. Bottom line, I have no complaints about the cost... possibly my favorite NIN album...
Low_Skill_But_Happy_Deagle
any copies that arent going for 300-400 fucking dollars!? absurd!
Pipet
he just announced reissues of broken, the downward spiral and the fragile. (and a special alternate instrumental redone version of the fragile.) these prices are going to come way down because people won't buy them anymore. they'll just wait for the reissues. that's great for people who don't have originals, but for someone like me, who bought it on day one, it's sad. it was one of my most highest-priced records, too. oh well... at least i'll finally have broken.
Onetarieva
Keep an eye on ebay. Auctions tend to bid up to $200 but sometimes less and usually not much more. As of right now that's just the market value for it. Price has been crawling up for years, $200 used to be overpaying, now it's a good deal. What's worse is that the bootlegs often go for more.
Levion
In this 4th album release, Trent takes his production skills to the next level and reaches new sonic landscapes while making a perfect album from stem to stern, in a uniquely NIN way. Everything before led to this perfect album and everything after has the sound of being "post Fragile", where he branches into different versions of his trademark sound. This album is the epitome of what pre-y2k era NIN was about, self loathing, thick beats, layers of distorted guitars, industrial synths and neurotic production skills. If ever you can own it on vinyl, do it.
Marr
Can anyone confirm if this is a 2 "pocket" gatefold cover or 3 "pocket" (i.e one for each lp)?
WtePSeLNaGAyko
There are two pockets. One for two records, another for one record and the insert.
Legionstatic
This pressing is the way to go. No surface noise, floor rattling bass response. This is one of those instances where the vinyl outshines the CD hands down. The CD sounds great, the LP sounds amazing!
sergant
Im looking forward to joining you, stand out on vinyl!
Zainn
So dark & futuristic, some times insane & bizzare .... listen to it after World War III !!
MARK BEN FORD
This for me , is a must have lp . It bridges the gaps between industrial and dance music like no other album has ever done. Musicianship and production that stands head and shoulders above all else, with a fine balance and amazing use of both analogue and digital recording and production techniques. In my opinion , drawing influences from both the techno and drum and bass scene and merging them perfectly with trents own style . Play this album loud , but when you get to b2 .....turn it up and get ready for the kick drum !
