Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2 is a double album by Jerry Cantrell, released on November 26, 2002 through Roadrunner Records. It is an expanded limited edition of Cantrell‘s Degradation Trip album, which was released five months earlier. All the songs were written long before Degradation Trip‘s first release. The title was taken from the song Solitude, the fifth track on the album.
The extended version’s track order, which differs from the first, is also presented in Cantrell‘s originally intended order. Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin and then Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society bassist Robert Trujillo contributed to Degradation Trip, and would tour with Cantrell in support in 2001, before the album was released. The album was first released on vinyl through Music on Vinyl on February 8, 2019, as a limited pressing of 2,000 individually numbered copies on four-color vinyl.
