I ain't telling you a secret, I ain't saying goodbye! Dinosaur Jr.'s second major - label album without Lou Barlow was a commercial gem. In the early 90s, with Seattle's grunge scene booming, there was a lot of talk about them being the next Nirvana. Despite the pressure, Mascis delivered an amazing album. 'Where You Been' is one of Dinosaur Jr.'s best. From the catchy 'Start Choppin' to the Neil - Young - inspired 'Not The Same', it's a great listen. Mascis' guitar skills and songwriting are on full display. The album has tough and thoughtful parts, balanced by ear - bleeding solos and a sense of fun during recording. 'Goin Home' sums it up well, showing that while it's an epic work, the band will always return to its indie roots. This 30th anniversary edition comes on pink splatter vinyl, includes a printed insert, and is a limited release. Originally released in 1993, it's re - issued by Cherry Red in 2024.
Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle on the start of the record, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints on it, which can affect the sound quality.

This limited - edition vinyl is a collector's item, so handle it with care to keep it in good condition for years to come.
