The 1994 album "Purple", which built on the debut "Core", was a great success for the Stone Temple Pilots and marked an important development in the band's sound. It landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and quickly reached multiple platinum status worldwide. "Purple" also showed that the Stone Temple Pilots were more than just another grunge band in the heyday of this style; they asserted themselves as a strong element of the scene, with powerful and emotionally stirring songs, such as "Interstate Love Song", "Vasoline" and "Big Empty".
Analogue Productions gave the album a first-class re-release as a 45 rpm double LP, mastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound.
"Atlantic 75" is a series of 75 vinyl releases from Atlantic Records' iconic catalog to celebrate the label's 75th anniversary with its great artists and albums.
Purple, the second studio album released in 1994 by the Stone Temple Pilots, stands as a monumental achievement in the band's career and a defining moment in the grunge and alternative rock music scene of the 1990s. With a potent blend of raw energy, introspective lyrics and masterful musicianship, Purple not only catapulted Stone Temple Pilots to superstardom, but it also marked a significant evolution in the band's sound.
The album, building on the foundations laid by the band's debut album Core, was a huge success for the band, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and quickly achieving multi-platinum status, worldwide.
Its chart-topping single, "Interstate Love Song," became an anthem for a generation, and the album as a whole showcased the band's artistic prowess.
Lyrically, Purple also revealed a more introspective and mature side of Stone Temple Pilots. Scott Weiland's songwriting delved into personal struggles and emotions, addressing themes of addiction, love, and self-discovery. This depth added a layer of authenticity to the album, allowing listeners to connect with the band on a profound level.
Purple also demonstrated that Stone Temple Pilots were more than just another grunge act; they were a force to be reckoned with, capable of delivering powerful and emotionally resonant music. Purple remains a crucial chapter in the band's history and an essential listen for any fan of rock music.
Analogue Productions has given the showstopping Purple the full reissue treatment: Mastered directly from the original master tape by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and cut at 45 RPM. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, and housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing.
