      An essential part of the NIN discography. Great remixes and outtakes from the Downward Spiral sessions. Lovely to own on vinyl if you can find a decent copy.
      My copy starts with Closer to God as A1 then the album version of Closer as A2, so the track listing on the sleeve doesn’t quite match.

        Meh. Clean vinyl, no issues there but sound wise stick with the cd. This does not have much in of dynamics or open sound to it. Seems compressed to be honest. Nice collectible as an 90s nin fan anyway. Worth above 40 dollars? No.

          There's only a little surface noise on my copy. Mostly just at the very beginning of a couple of the sides. Over all this pressing is crystal clear. Great definition. Great highs and lows. Both US and UK promos are excellent.choices. Both sound fantastic.

            Are we sure this is a misprint and not just the ink on the spine being bleached by being in direct sunlight? All my DVDs have what looks like that same discoloration from where i was keeping that shelf in my apartment

              If anybody has a copy of disc 2 only of this release, I'd be interested. Thanks!

                Anyone else notice that Label A has a typo?
                "Closer to God)". Wonder what's up with that.

                  I have a CD who’s face says it is Further Away but it plays the Closer To God songs. I’m not sure if it came with Further Away or Closer To god because I ordered both at the same time. Can anyone help me set up a discogs page for it?

                    Finally got a copy of this in the wild after years of searching and am blown away by the quality of the pressing. The tracks are pressed nice and loud, rendering surface noise a non-issue, along with tracks like Memorabilia and Closer (Precursor) sounding unnervingly clear, crisp, and layered. It's like hearing these songs for the first time all over again!

                      This disc (and its sibling 'Further Away') are a joy to play on vinyl. I collected both of them on CD many years ago and had been after them on vinyl for years. I finally caught up to a copy of 'Closer To God' recently and was not disappointed.
                      All tracks sound amazing on vinyl but 'Closer To God' and 'Memorabilia' are particular stand-outs for giving your speakers a workout.
                      If you're a Halo collector and find either this disc or 'Further Away' snap them up.

                        I have a copy that has both discs in one set. It's a digipak with two trays. Can't find it anywhere on here.
