Notes
Album Sales: 7,000,000
First Release Date: September 1991
The fourth studio album from Guns N' Roses. It was the second of two albums released in conjunction with the "Use Your Illusion Tour", the other being "Use Your Illusion I". In fact, in the original vinyl releases, both Use Your Illusion albums are double albums. Material for all two/four discs (depending on the medium) was recorded at the same time and there was some question of releasing a "quadruple album".
"Use Your Illusion II" reached #1 in the Billboard Top 200 and the UK Albums Chart. The album produced five singles:
"You Could Be Mine"
"Knockin' On Heaven's Door"
"Yesterdays"
"Civil War"
"Estranged"

Recommendations

My copy of this (Variant 5) has exactly the same matrix layout as the entry r370013 but the ONLY difference is the added Mould SID.
-
Good sounding version; money well spent: recommended. Nothing to compare to though. -
For some reason, after listening to this album over 34 years, it's now I realize how incredible the drums sound across both I and II. I don't know if that's a commentary on this particular pressing or just my lack of attention to how Matt Sorum sounds on these albums, but I can't think of rock drums ever sounding better to me.
I when I was in a band when I was 17 and my drummer, who was 27 at the time and decent, told me Sorum kind of sucked as a drummer. That always stuck with me. After all these years, I don't know wtf he was talking about. Sorum was an incredible drummer. It's entirely possible in my mind that Steven Adler couldn't have done as well. Sorum might've been the PERFECT drummer for these records. Anyway.
Also, a little further on these pressings. They're exceptional. I don't know what I could complain about and that's rare. Sound is totally on-point. Yes, digital... BUT... cut by Joe Nino-Hernes at Sterling and pressed super well by Optimal. Fantastic pressings of both I and II. Now, if Chad at AP wanted to press UHQRs of these from tape, I certainly wouldn't object. -
What can I say other than this pressing sounds like I hoped it would. AFD sounds better but that’s a different record all together. My copy sounds dead quiet and regardless of whether it is a high rez pressing or not, the SQ sounds pretty awesome. I’m getting all the same feels the way I did when I popped my little cassette into my Walkman back in ‘91. It also helps I got 75% off buying new from a Boxing Day sale from my local shop. -
Excelente sonido y prensaje. Impecable reproducción de todos los elementos que adornan estos álbumes -
Fantastic pressing. Great sounding, flat and quiet. This is a hard rock band too. -
Bought for 14€90 years each , during the Christmas Offers . Sounds super clean !!
30€ for the 1 & 2 new and sealed , great deal . Great pressing ! -
Edited 9 months agosuena muy bien. muy limpio. He escuichado estos discos por mas de 30 años y me dì cuenta de la deficiòn de los sonidos en cosas que no habia escuchado en los discos de epoca original. November rain, fue remasteizada con el muro orquestal como corresponde (grabado en el 2021). Pensé que eso estaba al principio, pero al escucharlo. me dejo con una muy buena impresiòn. (Tengo ambos y nobember rain no sale en este disco) -
Amazing pressing. Bought both for € 24,90 each, new and sealed. -
Believe the hype on this pressing. Wish more of my records hit like this.
