Nine Inch Nails NIN The Fragile 3 LP Record Set - Original Issue ( Black Vinyl )

$

129

You are bidding on an original issue, black vinyl pressing of The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails. The triple vinyl and booklet are in excellent condition; there is some vinyl "ring" impression on the front cover due to the weight of 2 LPs and 12 years of existence. The art booklet is gorgeous, 11"x11", containing alternate photography from the CD edition, and complete lyrics.

The vinyl includes two bonus tracks that were originally exclusive to the 3 LP release. They were later released as b-sides on the We're In This Together 3 part European CD single, and remixes were made of both tracks, one of which was made available on Things Falling Apart, the other on the WITT 3 part CD single. The songs are great, strange and markedly more experimental in tone, structure and dynamics than a lot of the rest of the album; still, they fit great and would have been a nice inclusion on the CD release.

There are also alternate mixes and edits of several other tracks; unlike the vinyl for The Downward Spiral, the songs do not retain crossfades over vinyl sides, so songs have unique beginnings and endings. In addition, there are extended versions of several tracks.

From http://www.ninwiki.com/The_Fragile_%28halo%29#Vinyl_Release

• "The Day the World Went Away" has a longer guitar intro
• "The Wretched" has an extended outro
• "Even Deeper" features an elongated middle section
• "La Mer" has a longer intro and an extended ending with more speech samples
• "Pilgrimage" does not fade in, but rather begins building without any volume adjusting
• "The Mark Has Been Made" does not feature the introduction of "10 Miles High" fading in at the end (the hidden bit of music in the pre-gap of "Please" on the CD version)
• "I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally" begins with the full strings sample
• "Ripe" does not include the "With Decay" ending section, but rather fades out as the slinking guitars play the main riff
• "The Wretched," "We're in This Together," "Even Deeper," "Pilgrimage," "The Mark Has Been Made," "10 Miles High," "The New Flesh," and "I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally" all do not crossfade as on the CD version, because these songs either end or begin their respective sides
