Houdini was released in 1993 on Atlantic Records. It is generally regarded as one of their more accessible albums.

Kurt Cobain produced tracks 1, 7, 8, 9, 12 and 13 along with Melvins. He played on "Sky Pup" and the percussion-only "Spread Eagle Beagle".

The entire album was recorded live and released as A Live History of Gluttony and Lust in 2006.

Notes

  • Some copies include a cover of "Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)", originally by the MC5, instead of "Spread Eagle Beagle".
  • A Japanese CD release (catalog# AMCY-625) also contains "Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)" as the 14th track at the end of the disc, coming after "Spread Eagle Beagle".
  • The back cover shows an illustration of the band; Dale Crover on the left, Lori "Lorax" Black in the middle and King Buzzo on the right. Note that in the illustration, each member has 6 fingers.
