Stone Temple Pilots – Tiny Music...Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop (CD, 1996, Atlantic 82871-2, Specialty Records Corporation)

Why This CD Matters
Tiny Music...Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop is Stone Temple Pilots’ third studio album and marked a broader, more experimental direction beyond the heavier sound of their first two records. The album produced “Big Bang Baby,” “Lady Picture Show,” and “Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart,” all major rock-radio hits for the band. Brendan O'Brien produced the sessions, with Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz recording primarily at Westerly Ranch in California’s Santa Ynez Valley.
