Interscope/Capitol is releasing a special limited-edition version of Blink-182’s classic album, *Enema of the State*. This premium audiophile collection uses the One Step manufacturing process and will be limited to just 3,000 hand-numbered copies. The album, originally released in 1999, has been mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering from the original analog tapes. Record Technology, Inc. pressed the 180-gram vinyl LP, which comes in a gatefold jacket and is housed in a slipcase. Each copy includes a certificate of authenticity detailing the mastering, plating, and pressing process. This AAA (All Analog Mastering) vinyl is priced at $100.
Xavier Ramos, EVP of D2C and eCommerce Strategy at Interscope/Capitol, said, “The Definitive Sound Series represents the pinnacle of vinyl craftsmanship. We’re proud to invest in these collectible pieces that reflect our respect for these iconic artists and their groundbreaking music.” *Enema of the State* helped launch Blink-182 to global fame and features hit singles like “What’s My Age Again?”, “All the Small Things,” and “Adam’s Song.” It’s considered one of the most influential rock albums of the late ’90s and early 2000s.
Previous titles in the Definitive Sound Series include Dr. Dre’s *The Chronic*, A Perfect Circle’s *Mer De Noms*, and Nat King Cole’s *The Christmas Song*. Blink-182 recently released *ONE MORE TIME…* in 2023, marking their first album with Tom DeLonge in 12 years, followed by a deluxe version in 2024. The band is currently on their Missionary Impossible U.S. tour. Preorders for the vinyl are available now, and it will start shipping on February 20, 2026.
