Nine Inch Nails: Broken (180g) Vinyl LP+7"

Definitive Edition of halo five, remastered and packed with loads of bonus materials on Trent Reznor’s own Nothing imprint! Broken is the sonic and chronological link between the industrial synth sound of Pretty Hate Machine and the brooding, depressive pop of The Downward Spiral, which would see Reznor single-handedly change the sound of ‘industrial music’ for good. Includes “Gave Up,” “Happiness In Slaver” and, perhaps most notably, the Grammy-winning “Wish. ” Faithful to the original CD version, which included a mini CD containing “Physical” and “Suck;” this remastered vinyl 12-inch includes a 7-inch with the two bonus tracks, making this the first time all 8 tracks appear together on vinyl. The first 6 tracks are cut nice and loud on a single-sided 12-inch, with a custom spiral etching on side B containing random lyrics culled from songs on the record. From the sticker: “Remastered in 2016 on 180 gram vinyl, with lots of details attended to that you may never notice but we care about.” Full-color outer sleeve and inner sleeve with printed art booklet meticulously prepared by Trent Reznor and NIN art director John Crawford. Includes code for digital download.
