Description

£59.99 – Super Deluxe Boxset LP & 3xCD

When Stone Temple Pilots returned to the studio in 1994 to record the band’s second album, the quartet was facing the high expectations set by its debut Core (1992), which sold more than eight million copies. The release of Purple on the 7th of June 1994 would cement their place as much more than just another grunge band, but one of the definitive bands of their generation as the album debuted in the top 10 of the UK album chart and #1 on the Billboard album chart. It went on to sell 6 million copies globally.

This Super Deluxe Boxset includes a newly remastered version of the original studio album on both CD and Vinyl, plus unreleased versions of album tracks and rarities, along with an unreleased full concert recording from 1994. Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz recorded most of Purple in Atlanta with producer Brendan O’Brien. The album features some of the group’s most iconic tracks, including ‘Interstate Love Song’ and ‘Vasoline’.
