Description
This very rare 3LP vinyl record by The Smashing Pumpkins is a must-have for any Pumpkins or post grunge music enthusiast. The release title, Machina II / The Friends & Enemies Of Modern Music, is an embodiment of the band's signature style from the 1990s. It is the sixth studio album by the Pumpkins and was released for free on the Internet on September 5, 2000.
Plans for a standard physical release, bundled with Machina I / The Machines of God, were revealed to happen sometime in 2013, postponed due to legal setbacks, and according to Billy Corgan in 2022 now completely abandoned. The album's artwork was originally created by Carlos Segura.
Both Machina albums are loose concept albums telling the story of "a rock star gone mad". Machina II was the last Smashing Pumpkins studio album until the band reformed in 2006, their final studio album to feature guitarist James Iha until his return in 2018, as well as the final album to feature their original line-up, as bassist D'arcy Wretzky departed during the recording of both Machina albums and didn't return when the band reformed.
This copy is like new. The records are made of high-quality silver vinyl material that is visually appealing and sure to enhance your vinyl collection. The inlay and sleeve condition of this LP is excellent, with only a tiny bump on the top left corner of the sleeves, and the records grading is near mint (NM / M-), ensuring that you receive a quality product that will play classic tracks like Go, Vanity, Home, or Innosense flawlessly.
Get your hands on this sought-after album with lovely artwork and experience the magic of Machina II on vinyl yourself.

GRADE SYSTEM VINYL:
MINT (M): I don't use this rating, unless the vinyl is recently released unplayed and/or sealed.
Near Mint (NM): In near new state and condition with no or minimal surface markings, no deterioration in sound quality. Almost perfect cover and content.
Excellent (EX): shows some signs of reproduction, some slight marks produced by the inner sleeve itself are visible, but they do not affect or minimally affect the sound quality. Cover and contents may have slight wear and/or creases.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Vinyl has been listened to, shows more numerous light marks on surface, but was cared for by owner, no significant deterioration in sound quality despite light surface marks. Very little wear and tear on cover and contents, without any major defects.
Very good (VG): its use has been evident both visually and audibly, it has been played many times, it shows deeper marks on the surface of the vinyl, slight scratches, it will have some distortions in its sound and slight pops and clicks, but I'm still enjoying its listening, there has been no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratches. Cover and content wear with scratches on some of the edges and slight creases in the corners.
Good (G): Sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some more noticeable distortion. Highly visible scratches. The cover and contents suffer from creases, scuffs on the edges, split spine, discoloration, etc.
