Interscope Vinyl Collective’s Debut Vinyl: Dr. Dre 'The Chronic'

Interscope Records, founded in 1990, subverted the musical landscape by introducing culture shaping artists across the full spectrum of contemporary music. From its inception, the label developed paradigm-defining performers and seminal music pioneers. Its roster includes Nine Inch Nails, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Dr. Dre, Juice WRLD, Selena Gomez, and Billie Eilish, to name only a few Interscope legends.

Interscope is celebrating that legacy with the Interscope Vinyl Collective, a continuing subscription series of monthly limited edition LPs, many of which will be new to the vinyl format.

The Vinyl Collective debuts with a special edition of The Chronic, Dr. Dre’s self produced debut album. The Chronic is an undisputed landmark recording that built upon the groundbreaking aesthetics of his legendary Compton group, N.W.A and jump-started Death Row Records. The Chronic, and Dr. Dre's visionary production, brought new superstars such as Snoop Dogg to the genre and featured a Who’s Who of West Coast rappers, namely the D.O.C., Warren G, Nate Dogg, Daz, and Kurupt. Tough and uncompromising, a sophisticated album with a game changing concept, The Chronic took the West Coast sound from a regional phenomena and made it global, selling more than 6 million copies. The album will be issued as the definitive two-LP set in a limited edition black jacket and pressed on chronic-green vinyl. The Chronic will be followed by Obie Trice’s Cheers, releasing in November, and Juice WRLD’s Goodbye & Good Riddance, releasing in December. More details coming soon.
