Have you ever wondered why Trent Reznor re-released, remixed and re-re-released every album he ever made, but never Pretty Hate Machine? It’s because the original recordings have been considered lost for a long time. Fortunately for him (and unfortunately for fans’ wallets), they found its way home, and a re-release is scheduled for November 22nd. Read more for his announcement and see a “reinterpretation” of the original album cover.
I’m happy to finally announce the re-issue of the first Nine Inch Nails record “Pretty Hate Machine,” releasing worldwide 11/22. UMe and Bicycle Music Group managed to locate the original mixes, so I went in the studio with Tom Baker and remastered it for a greatly improved sonic experience. In addition, Rob reinterpreted Gary Talpas’ original cover to make for a fresh new package.
It’s been an interesting trip watching the fate of this record float from one set of hands to another (a long and depressing story) but it’s finally wound up in friendly territory, allowing us to polish it up a bit and present it to you now. We had fun revisiting this old friend, hope you enjoy.
