Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2 is a double album by Jerry Cantrell, released on November 26, 2002, through Roadrunner Records.[1] It is an expanded limited edition of Cantrell's Degradation Trip album, which was released five months earlier. All the songs were written long prior to the first release of Degradation Trip.[7] The title was taken from the song "Solitude", the fifth track from the album.[8] Roadrunner Records, uneasy toward the idea of a double album release, made Cantrell condense it,[9] but promised to eventually release all of his material.[7]

The track order of the expanded version, which differs from the first, is also presented in Cantrell's originally planned order.[10] Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin and then-Ozzy Osbourne/Black Label Society bassist Robert Trujillo contributed to Degradation Trip,[8] and would tour with Cantrell in support of it in 2001, before the album was released.
