Description

Up for auction is a Black Friday Record Store Day box set release of Nine Inch Nails' early recordings, Halo I-IV.

There were huge quality control issues with this set, so I'd say that it's only for collectors. I had a dialogue expressing my disappointment with this release with Bicycle Concord and the company sent me two replacements for Pretty Hate Machine to try to make good on its mistake. But one of those was the same notoriously flawed (skips like crazy and looks like it was used for BB gun target practice) leftover pressing that they couldn't sell and jammed into the box set, and the other was the much maligned remaster that was so bad that even Trent Reznor asked his fans to not buy it. I'll include both with this package.

So again, this is for collectors only who want this box on their shelf. Playing it is a frustrating exercise.

Record Store Day description:
