'''''Purest Feeling''''' is a [[bootlegs|bootleg]] of early recordings by [[Nine Inch Nails]], prior to ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]].'' It was recorded at the Right Track Studio in November 1988 by [[Trent Reznor]] while he was still working as a technician there. It was first released on cassette in 1993 by Dirt Road Tapes, then re-released on CD the following year by Italian label Hawk Records.
[[Ron Musarra]], who drums on this recording, shared the following in a YouTube comment: "This is a recording of us live in the studio {Right Track} rehearsing for an upcoming tour, I played drums, you can hear me count us in... Gretsch 14" chrome over wood snare, 20" kik/ Simmons pads triggering an Emax, Paiste cymbals, [[Sean Beavan ]] in the control room engineering."
The sound is brighter (and in some cases happier) than that of the final versions on ''Pretty Hate Machine;'' several songs feature more drumming and guitar work throughout, as well as a heavier use of [[samples]] from films. "[[Kinda I Want To]]" is reminiscent of early house music. "[[Twist]]" is an early version of "[[Ringfinger]]", featuring different lyrics and less use of sample loops. The entire session has segues leading each track into the next. The songs "[[Maybe Just Once]]" and "[[Purest Feeling (song)|Purest Feeling]]" are exclusive to the bootleg and are not found on any Nine Inch Nails release.
