Which to get? Gluey Porch Treatments or Ozma/Gluey Porch Treatments?

One has 29 tracks, and the other 33, so there must be some "extra material" on one of them. What's the differences between them? Which one is essential?

Depends on whether you want Ozma or demo sessions with your Gluey Porch. Ozma is the totally essential Melvins LP.

If you have to choose between Ozma and Gluey demos, choose Ozma. If you're going to want both anyway, just get both. You'll end up with two Glueys in the process, but I think one will sound better than the other due to remastering, so what the hey.

...UNLESS there are plans for a mega-Ozma plus bonus goodies CD too. That might be worth investigating.

Get the Ozma one!! Thats a strange little record. A lot more of those really slow marching songs than they ever did on any other album. It sounds really different from Gluey to me and of course nothing like Bullhead or Eggnog or Lysol..

I don't think these are necessarily the essential places to start with the Melvins either. I personally came from the Lysol and Bullhead days and went back to these records.

Ozma is their proggiest. Lotsa "parts" and weird structures.

Yeah you know its gonna be a crazy ride as soon as you hear those first two songs. I remember Helmet covering "Oven".

Bullhead.

Oven was a major math-rock touchstone
