Who's still got their original Vs. cd?

Ok...a bit of rambling...

1) The Vinyl was a week earlier than the other formats, & I was so excited because _I BUY VINYL_. So did they really sell 900+ copies on vinyl alone that 1st week? I know it debuted #1 that 1st week...it was big news.

2) Who is ANYone on the back cover? All I see is dirty feet. One of you recognizes drummers' feet? The sheep cover was different for vinyl vs. cd...I didn't like the cd version...that sheep looked mad!

3) I've heard many a story of the title '5 Against 1'...I don't get it. I mean, I know where it comes from; I've a shirt from '94 with that photo, & it's on the liner bag, but..if the vinyl came 1st, & was self-titled to begin with, why would there be other formats with yet another, 3rd, title?

4) My 1st vinyl copy was a piece of shit. It skipped better than I do rope. I called the "Quality Management Department" 800#...They sent me another. I shoulda done this 4 or 500 more times in retrospect.... Vitalogy was perfect, BTW. Still is. Skinniest platter of them all, though...& that 800# is no longer in service.

i'm pretty sure the vinyl for sale exclusively for a week prior to the cds was for vitalogy, not vs.

This is what I remember also. What an awesome way to listen a week early! God damn I was so fucking excited to spin that record a week early! Those were the days. No leaks, no internet, just physically go buy a copy and spin it!!

I miss those times.

Yep, I've got the eco-fold-up CD. It doesn't say Vs. on the side. The only shitty thing is one of my sister's friends was looking at it shortly after I got it, and the bottom of the plastic part of the case has a crack in it... you'd think after 17 years I'd have busted out the super glue and fixed it... If you didn't have it/know it, it does look kinda tricky on how to open it... at least it did back in those days of all-plastic CD cases.

Inside is my ticket stub from the 1993 concert... $18.00 plus $2.00 service fee--remember their "no more than 10% service fee" policy?? This is probably one of those concerts that spurred that... $.20 more than the 10%!!

That was a few years before their $400 ski jacket and Target commercial.

Still have mine without Vs. on the spine. Cd still works a treat too.

Never owned a copy of Vs via Eco-Pack style. Were never sold here @ Sam's The Record Man that day of release. Now I own one, promo, press kit & tour itinerary style!

I suppose I must have the original, since I never bought another since it was released and I have the CD ... but I threw out all of my CD cases long ago and put everything in a CD binder. Sometimes I regret this decision.

I think I have five covers does that count

Vs was my very favorite for a very long time, wore it out often, leave the kids go on a trip,
one disappears, I think it was everyone's favorite

Still have my original Vs. casette and remember the music store I bought it from back in '93. Also have my original CD.

I have an original. Got it at Lechmere (long since out of business) The day it came out. Remember sitting in the parking lot for the store to open. One of the rare times a follow up to a classic becomes a classic too. Guess we should call it the original "Self-Titled"!

I still have mine. I remember skipping school that day just to buy it.
