Sonic Youth – Dirty 2LP Online

Limited double vinyl LP pressing. When Dirty was released in 1992, it was seen by many as the band s big move toward the grunge market. Heard today, Dirty doesn t sound like a masterpiece (like Daydream Nation) or a gesture toward the mainstream audience (like Goo) – it just sounds like a damn good rock album, and on those terms it ranks with Sonic Youth s best work. The band recorded and produced the album with Butch Vig in early 1992 at The Magic Shop studios. The album spawned four singles. The first single was 100% . The next was Youth Against Fascism . The last two were Sugar Kane and Drunken Butterfly , released in 1993. The album sold exceptionally well, reaching #6 in the UK Albums Chart (their highest charting album in the UK) and #83 in the US.
