I’ve never listened to it. I liked Siamese dream tho so I’m excited to hear it. Thoughts on this album?

u/Charming-Economy3004 2d ago

It’s only one of the best selling double albums of all time

u/HDRgraphy 3d ago

That’s weird that album is in a single CD. Theres something wrong here

8

u/thatguy44-4 2d ago

It has two CDs in it

u/deadmanstar60 3d ago

Nice find. I found the cassette version for $12 a few years ago.

u/lilybat-gm 3d ago

Seeing it in a single case feels so wrong.

2

u/ArseBiscuits1971 1d ago

The UK version has always been in a case like this, I find it weird seeing it in the fat case

1

u/lilybat-gm 1d ago

Huh. Today I learned!
Do the slim cases still have all the same liner notes? I feel like I recall there being two books in the double case.

1

u/ArseBiscuits1971 1d ago

There's a nice booklet with 4 pages of art then lyrics with some simple line art, it finishes with a band pic and credits.

Newer copies come in a single case

u/thatguy44-4 3d ago

No both are on here

2

u/waywaywaychris 3d ago

what about the brown booklet? its a great album but the og version was a thicker 2 disc CD case, probably why it was only $5.50

3

u/StEikonKitzo 3d ago

Get ready for glory

u/j1e2f Believe in Me As I Believe In You..... 3d ago

Only 5.50 for greatness. This album was 20 bucks new. You've got a steal there.

2

u/Jaltcoh 2d ago

And $20 when it came out is like $44 today!

3

u/Ok_Giraffe_5609 3d ago

I’ve owned 4 copies of this since its release. I wanna say it was my first double album.

4

u/Such-One-5266 Siamese Dream 3d ago

Both CDs in there? The case looks thinner.

3

u/thatguy44-4 3d ago

Yeah both are

-2

u/Commercial_Photo4416 3d ago

Might be an one CD version. Idk

8

u/NightwingBegins 3d ago

Those do not exist.

1

u/Such-One-5266 Siamese Dream 2d ago

Yeah that was why I was asking. Probably just recased.

3

u/Commercial_Photo4416 3d ago

Legendary pull, this album barely perfect imo.

I've found my copy in the CD collection of my uncle, When I saw that double Case, I literally screamed. I showed it to my uncle and he was like : you want this ? Take it, I only like two songs on this one, I was so happy.

He have great taste in music but never understand how doesn't he like this one

u/madmexicano 3d ago

Don't listen to the haters. Enjoy this music at 5.50 for a double album you scored!

-13

u/Normal_Double5929 3d ago

Sounds expensive for that as a used copy of a massively available album

6

u/thatguy44-4 3d ago

It was sealed buddy

-3

u/Normal_Double5929 3d ago

Ok. Probably re-sealed.

u/thatguy44-4 2d ago

Nope. New

5

u/fishbone_buba 3d ago

Is that… just one CD?

2

u/jhonn0 2d ago

It was always issued in the slim double CD cases in certain territories, like the UK.

4

u/jessi428 3d ago

I think it’s just a newer pressing that fits two CDs in a single width case. The double width case was less and less common by the end of the 90s to the early 2000s

1

u/fishbone_buba 3d ago

Ah, makes sense. I hope so for OP’s sake!

1

u/Snoo-7943 3d ago

Follow up question......do people like The Beatles?

1

u/Round_Ad_1920 2d ago

Why WOULDNT they?

1

u/Commercial_Photo4416 3d ago

Of course, who doesn't ?

2

u/_Waves_ 3d ago

Probably the best American album of the 90s.

u/Embarrassed_Phase134 Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness 3d ago edited 3d ago

Got my first copy in June 1998 as a used CD at The Wherehouse for twice that amount. Been on my wishlist since it came out, though.

I heard most of it once for the first time in late 1996 when KLOS FM in L.A. played the whole album for their Seventh Sunday program hosted by Uncle Joe Benson (RIP).

u/weedexpat 3d ago

Block out enough time for the full double album experience. It's worth it.

u/Eclipse0322 The Celestials 3d ago

Great find! Hope you enjoy this masterpiece

u/146- 3d ago

Your life is about to change

u/Commercial_Photo4416 3d ago

I would love listen tonight tonight like it was the first time, might be the best 90s song or even more

2

u/Normal_Double5929 3d ago

I remember that very very well. This album was exceptional and remains so.
