Notes

1st Issue

The tracks on the compact disc are pressed wrong from track 7, track 7 is actually track 16 (last track) and the tracks from 8-16 should be subtracted by one

By the way, it seems that this release comes first, before the later release on LP
It got no featuring info on the front cover and the track "_______ Ain't ____" is already banned from the artwork of the LP and all later releases on compact disc

Mixed at Larrabee Sound Studios. Recorded at Death Row Studios. Mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering.

      Infinitely Better Than Any Of The Remastered Copies That Are Readily Available These Days. The Original Chronic CD Is A Sonic Delight With How Dynamic And Detailed It Is And The Music Feels More Breathable And Organic But Most Importantly The Bass Feels Natural And Not Overbearing.

        Anyone know if Bernie Grundman mastered this version? He’s listed on the other 1992 CD pressings, but not this one.

          I have a copy of this that looks 100% exactly the same, but with 5 dots in the matrix (:·:). What version would that be? Is it still a 1st issue?
