Notes: The earth-shattering debut, winner of the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz and Jop Critic's Poll, Spin's Record of the Year award, and numerous other critical accolades.

To my knowledge, Matador did not press advance or special promo-only copies of Exile in Guyville with alternate art, etc. However, I have been told that no-frills advance cassettes, packaged with a simple red j-card, appeared about six months before the record's official release. Can you confirm or deny this rumor? If so, send me a message. Thanks!
