Is this the 2LP version?

Yes. This edition is a 2LP set on red and blue vinyl, with the 15 tracks spread across four sides.

Does it include bonus tracks?

No. It is the standard 15-track album, from "Around the World" to "Road Trippin'," with no outtakes.

Why do people say this album sounds loud?

The 1999 master was cut hot and is heavily compressed. That carries over to most vinyl pressings, so expect a punchy but crowded sound.

Is the colored vinyl a limited edition?

Red/blue pressings are common reissues rather than a numbered limited run, so availability varies by store.

Is $9.00 a good price for it?

Yes. A new double LP at $9.00 at Target as of November 8, 2026 is low for a 2LP, well under typical new-vinyl pricing.

Do I need a special turntable for colored vinyl?

No. Colored vinyl plays on any standard turntable; just set tracking force per your cartridge.
