Notes

The track order on release was different than some reprints. Most regions' first printings had "Down In A Hole" as the second-to-last track, but some had it as track 4. Later reprints may be based on the alternate track order. On LP and Cassette this can change what the closing song of Side A and the opening song of Side B are.

referencing Dirt (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, MPO Pressing) 19439953541

Note: I haven't compared to other pressings (I have the MPO.) Both discs are perfectly flat, all four sides are flawless. No scratches and the only pops and cracks are from dust or whatnot the record picked up from me handling it. First play through was silent at start, between, and end of each side. I disagree with the people who say the dynamics are lacking. I only have a midgrade MusicHall TT and Parasound chain to some MartinLogans, so maybe not the best equipment according to commenter below. But IMO, it sounds better than the digital releases I have. Maybe MOV is different, so I can't comment on that. But I've been carefully selecting my gear for 25 years and this one pleases the ears. Worth a buy from me!

My favourite album of all time but this has some of the laziest packaging i’ve ever seen

Does anybody know for sure if this version is the 2022 remaster or not?

I wonder if there is a Japanese version with a newer tracklist (with Down in a Hole as the fourth track)

Sounds fine not midbloqing. Missing iron glands and Tom Araya

Dead quiet, no surface noice or unnecessary distortion. Clean reissue done well, copy was not warped.

Great pressing. On my system this sounds better than MOV. More punch detail. Michell gyro audio physics Hegel Lyra Delos rel subs.

Absolute unit of an album - It's helped me through my darkest times and the mastering on this press is out of this world. 10/10 would recommend.

Theres a reason this is my favorite album. Vinyl is my introduction to Alice in Chains and after Jar of Flies I got this at walmart not knowing what to expect. If Jar of Flies is a nightmare, Dirt is Hell. The sound stage is pretty confined outside of the cymbals but the separation makes it crystal clear.
