Sleep - Dopesmoker - Vinyl Record
Few albums carry a legend like Dopesmoker. Sleep recorded it in 1996 as a single hour-long song, a slow, crushing riff pilgrimage that their label at the time refused to release as delivered. A cut-down version surfaced in 1999 as Jerusalem, and the full vision finally arrived as Dopesmoker in 2003. It has since become the cornerstone of stoner and doom metal.
Matt Pike's guitar tone is enormous, Al Cisneros chants his desert-caravan lyrics like scripture, and Chris Hakius holds the groove steady for over an hour. It is heavy, hypnotic and strangely meditative.
This Third Man Records edition from 2022 is the first mastered from the original studio tapes. Spread over two LPs, it comes in a gatefold tip-on jacket with printed inner sleeves and a poster, and adds a new mix of the long-lost deep cut "Hot Lava Man." An essential record for any heavy music collection. Set aside the hour and turn it up.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
