1000 Hurts is their third album, and in my opinion, their best.
It features what must be the greatest opening track, ever.
It's not the greatest track - although it is a sonic blast - but it is, without doubt, the best of openers - check it out; you'll hear what I mean.
The vinyl edition came in a 12" box, emulating in design and size an Ampex Professional Recording Tape packet.
It also included a free CD edition [!], included here:
Shellac - 1000 Hurts (2000)
Prayer to God
Squirrel Song
Mama Gina
QRJ
Ghosts
Song Against Itself
Canaveral
New Number Order
Shoe Song
Watch Song

O, and do check out Steve Albini's food blog.
Seriously. It's very cool.
And often recipes include a little diatribe about something or other. Funny.

I've got this on vinyl (bought it the day it came out) but haven't got a record player so have never listened to it. Does the vinyl have the same spoken word intro as the CD or is it different to reflect the correct catalogue number for the vinyl, TG211LP rather than TG211CD?
They're the same; only the format is different.
They're not the same. They do indeed have a different intro. From memory the CD version states "Samples represented in two's-complement binary" and a few other similar CD related things.
