Notes
Smash is the third studio album by American punk rock band The Offspring. After touring in of their previous album, Ignition (1992), The Offspring began recording Smash in January 1994 at Track Record in North Hollywood, California. Recording and production were finished a month later, and the album was released on April 8, 1994 on Epitaph Records.
In the United States, Smash has sold over six million copies, and has been certified 6× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Peaking at number four on the US Billboard 200, it has sold over 11 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling independent label album of all time. It was also the first album released on Epitaph Records to obtain gold and platinum status. Smash was The Offspring's introduction into worldwide popularity and critical acclaim, and produced a number of hit singles including "Come Out and Play", "Self Esteem" and "Gotta Get Away". Alongside Bad Religion's Stranger than Fiction, Green Day's Dookie, NOFX's Punk In Drublic and Rancid's ...And Out Come the Wolves, Smash was responsible for bringing punk rock into the mainstream, and helped pave the way for the emerging pop punk scene in the 1990s. As a fan-favorite, the album received generally positive reviews from critics and garnered attention from major labels, including Columbia Records, with whom The Offspring would sign in 1996. Smash is the only release where the band was referred to as "Offspring".

Was a little worried with the mediocre reviews for this LP over the years but I have no complaints on this one. Definitely worth the $17. -

Does anyone know how many copies of this variant were pressed? -

I’ve been playing/recording music for 20+ years. Been listening to this album even longer than that. I can tell you right now this sounds far better than any CD/tape/mp3/stream I’ve ever listened to.
Is it the All Time Great Overlord Best Pressing I’ve ever heard? No. Is it dogshit with no separation? Also no….
It sounds great. EQ, dynamics, channel separation is more than fine.
Not sure if I just got a lucky copy, but I’ve got no noise whatsoever. Not sure what other people are complaining about. I heard maybe 6 or 7 pops throughout the entire album. Completely flat/no warping. Again, is it the Gold Pressing 5000XL+? No. But I’ve got higher end, more expensive records than this that sound far worse.
This pressing is great. It’s fuckin punk rock. Filled with distortion, crash cymbals and angst. I couldn’t ask for more from a pressing of this album.
Th oooonly problem I found with this pressing, and it is very minor, is that the bass drum coulda been a bit hotter in the mix with a bit more punch. But it’s still there. That’s just my own personal preference. And it is minuscule at best compared to the way others have tried to make it sound -

My LP has an additional anomaly, the track Self Esteem is not only the last cut on side 1, it also opens side 2. Weird! -
-
I think it sounds great. Just opened and threw it on. Was pretty surprised the clarity and separation. I didn’t find the highs fatiguing either.
-
My copy arrived sealed, numbered "516/500." I have a ticket with VMP that's been escalated to management. Can't wait to see how they explain this. I will report back. (Haven't opened it yet so can't comment on how it sounds.)

Amazing album let down by a really flat pressing. Among the worst pressings in my collection. Try a different pressing
