Nimrod HDCD

I haven't listened to the HD part. I'd love to get a rip of that

I'll simplify HDCD for you as best as I can. It's a relatively unknown format to most people. Released in the Mid-90s, and discontinued in 2000, this format is superior to a standard CD, as it allows for 20-bit audio, as compared to a 16-bit standard CD. "Nimrod" being the only Green Day title released in this format, it's as close to vinyl record quality as you can get on a CD.  ((I'll do my best to find a way to rip the audio, and will message you when I do.))

Wasn't pretty every "Nimrod"-CD a HDCD?
@Todd You don't have that at home?

I have it, I just don't know how to listen to the HD part. I saw on reddit that you need some kind of special player or program for it, it's not as simple as just playing it on a normal CD player

What is an 'enhanced cd'? I thought there was just one version of that cd

An 'Enhanced CD' means that there is bonus content on the CD (such as video) that is accessible through a PC.

You need a CD Player with a chip that allows you access the 'HD'. Basically a HDCD Player.

Not exactly. Most copies of Nimrod were a standard CD. You can actually check on the back of your CD Cover. If it has a logo that says HDCD, then there is your answer.

At least 6 of my 9 "Nimrod"-CDs have the HDCD-logo, that's why I was assuming most of them were like that.
My Australian copy and the German Promo (green cover) don't have it. I can't say if my Korean copy has it, since there's a big OBI on the back and it's sealed.

 Perhaps it was more common in other parts of the world? I can really only speak for the United States, most copies here are Standard CD

I bought Insomniac yesterday night. I was so sure I already have it, but, if I did have it, it's missing now.

wow, that's crazy, I never knew about the HDCD thing!! I bought my copy of nimrod on CD on the day it came out in 1997 and I just checked my copy and it says HDCD on the back, crazy that I've never noticed it before!

also, the  nimrod CD in the studio albums 1990 - 2009 box set is also a HDCD. though it only does say so on the CD itself.

@Todd

If someone were to rip the HDCD Tracks, would we be able to put them up on GDT or something?

Last item was a shirt I bought at Pinkpop '17. I got some CDs for Christmas last year (Dookie, Nimrod, American Idiot and Revolution Radio, pretty much my entire wishlist screamed GREEN DAY), and I bought the shirt at the concert. Pretty bad quality, actually, but I bought it before seeing them live, that's why I bought it at all. Usually, I buy good quality shirts and let a local shop print logos on them.

Oh, and the Revolution Radio CD had stickers on it, y'know, one that said "featuring the new singles Bang Bang, Revolution Radio and Still Breathing", and one that said "Explicit Lyrics". They were vinyl stickers, so I pulled them off the CD case and put them on my bass.
