Stone Temple Pilots – Purple (Vinyl LP, 2021, Atlantic RRC1 82607 / 603497845767, Limited Edition Blue with White Splatter)

Why This Record Matters
Purple is Stone Temple Pilots’ second studio album and helped establish the band as one of the major American rock acts of the 1990s. Produced, recorded, and mixed by Brendan O’Brien, the album includes “Vasoline,” “Interstate Love Song,” “Big Empty,” and “Unglued,” alongside deeper cuts such as “Still Remains” and “Silvergun Superman.” The combination of Scott Weiland’s vocals and the DeLeo brothers’ guitar and bass work gives the album a distinctive sound within the alternative-rock era.
