Dirty

Released 1992Alternative & Indie
Classic

A loud, accessible peak of melodic noise-rock. Sharp and acclaimed. A strong major-label record. Released in 1992, it's one of Sonic Youth's later high points.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
