These are incorrect sleeve notes - C2 was issued on the 'Get Me' 12" and CD editions in UK and Europe - see https://www. Outstanding job by Cherry Red Records in my opinion for these wonderful albums that most Dinosaur Jr fans think are under appreciated.

Mascis reacted at the time, "We're just making records and, I mean, every one sold more than the last one.

wasn’t the most unlikely band to make the jump to a major label in the ’90s (the post- Nirvana era was a weird time), but few could’ve guessed that Mascis’ group would actually sell a respectable amount of records, without substantially altering its style. That pressing is very crisp - great articulation between vocals, guitars and drums - where as this pressing seems a bit muffled. I knew after getting Green Mind reissue that I couldn’t pass this one up even though already had a nice sounding original. He singled out the first two tracks as highlights and gave the album a two-star honorable mention in his '90s Consumer Guide book. Released as grunge was at its height, 1993’s Where You Been hazily evaded any Nirvana-esque commercial crossover (it peaked at number 50 in the Billboard charts), but was a ragged masterpiece that found a fine new voice for the band.

But given the outstanding quality of the packaging and song selection for the bonus tracks, I don't mind so much in this case. Similarly the verbal spaghetti spilling over 'Hide' pre-dates Jeff Magnum's [sic] similar drawl on ‘ In the Aeroplane Over The Sea’ by a fair few years. The song "Start Choppin'" was their biggest hit, reaching number 3 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in the U.

Hüsker Dü frontman Bob Mould spoke positively of the album, commenting, "I've heard Where You Been, their new album.i will say too that in the run in wax on side A there is a noticeable hum that should not be there, this does not occur on the B, C and D sides however, maybe this is just my pressing? The band will play the album in full during four concerts at London’s Garage in November and seven shows at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. The majestic “Get Me” is “ Layla” for the distressed-denim set (even the guitar squiggle at the end is pinched from Clapton’s “Let It Rain”). About as quiet as I can ask for and the discs are as flat as an IHOP pancake on a Sunday after church service. s textbook construction of over-driven ear-worms would go on to strike chords with many later alt-90s guitar heroes.

Prefix magazine's Matthew Flander described it as "a classic record from the band, capturing just about every great ’90s song they had aside from “ The Wagon” and “ Feel the Pain”. Michael Azerrad, writing for Rolling Stone, was similarly positive, writing that "their second major-label album [.For those of you who know what I'm referring to, the amazing 10 min live version of "What else is new," from the Japanese "Feel the Pain" live EP is included.
