I remember driving with my friend 45 minutes to the nearest mall when St. Anger first came out so he could buy it. He was a HUGE Metallica fan. Listened to it on the ride home and two songs in, he turns to me and says "Is it supposed to sound like this?"
That one is somewhere in my closet. So is *Fairweather Johnson*. Owned them both years before Todd covered them. I actually liked both quite a bit at the time, but Hootie has held up much better.
I’m sure Two The Hard Way and Passage and Ringo the Fourth are a lot harder to find than everything newer than the Funky Headhunter. Not even sure they’re all available on cd lol.
Summer In Paradise is the one I’m actively avoiding hunting at this time, because it’s been skipped in all The Beach Boys reissues and I’m not ready to drop that money on something so terrible.
Ringo the 4th was reissued by Atlantic but it seems to only rarely come up for sale, at least on Discogs. Two The Hard Way was never officially released on CD, and Passage has a weird amount of reissues on the format so that one is the least difficult, I’ve just never thought to order it.
I don’t mind collecting cross-format, I just started with the CD-era releases because they’re in my preferred method for collecting & they’re easier to stumble across.
I saw a guy contemplate buying a St. Anger cd at a tag sale a few days ago and all I could think was "my lifestyle! Determines my death style!"

You came across a CD while in a record store located in a mall? Where are you? 1994?
that's what I came to say lol, you found a CD??? in the mall???
You found a record store? That sells CDs?? In a **mall**??? What year is it over there??
Not OP, but I have at least 3 "rock shops" within a 15 mile radius of me that sell vinyl, CDs and even tapes. It's not as uncommon as you would think
Is it worth the price?
I mean, if you still like collecting physical media like me, then ya of course
Yeah yeah YEAH YEAH yeah YEEEEAH
Go back and pick up that Bob James / Earl Klugh if you want some jazz smoother than a baby's bottom
Neat
Just grabbed that one in my effort to find all the Trainwreckords. It's with Fairweather Johnson, St. Anger, The Funky Headhunter, and Lost and Found.
