[[Image:Purest_feeling.jpg|thumb|CD release of the "Purest Feeling" Bootleg]]
'''''Purest Feeling''''' is a [[bootlegs|bootleg ]] of the original demo version of [[Nine Inch Nails]]' debut album, ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]],'' that 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.
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 album has segues leading each track into the next.
