Dude Ranch, Blink-182's second studio album, was a game - changer. Recorded at Big Fish Studios in Encinitas, California with producer Mark Trombino, it was released on June 17, 1997, by Cargo Music and MCA Records. After the moderate success of their debut Cheshire Cat in 1995 and rising popularity in Australia, MCA signed the band in 1996. Dude Ranch was their last release on Cargo and with original drummer Scott Raynor before his dismissal in 1998. The band recorded it in the winter of 1996 - 1997, using lyrics from their previous tours. This black double vinyl pressing comes in a gatefold sleeve with a printed insert. It was originally released in 2005 and re - issued by Geffen in 2022.
To use this Blink - 182 vinyl, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the vinyl from the gatefold sleeve by holding the edges. Place it on the turntable, and set the tonearm carefully on the lead - in groove. Enjoy the amazing music! When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, put it back in the sleeve to protect it from dust. Store the vinyl upright in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it before playing.
