A passionate, anthemic debut that helped define grunge's mainstream, from 'Alive' to 'Jeremy'. Earnest and huge. A 90s cornerstone. Released in 1991, it set the tone for everything that followed.
On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
