Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! 1992 multi-platinum album from the Stone Temple Pilots, a cornerstone of 1990s alt rock! Includes 'Sex Type Thing' and 'Wicked Garden' 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered by Ryan K. Smith from the original master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jackets with film lamination by Stoughton Printing Stone Temple Pilots roared on to the scene in 1992 with their raucous debut Core. A breakout success, the album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, dominated radio waves with hits like 'Sex Type Thing' and 'Wicked Garden,' and has been certified 8x platinum by the RIAA. The band also took home the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance for their smash single 'Plush.' Although it faced initial criticisms for being derivative of other grunge bands, such as Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains, time has gained Core recognition as a classic of the 1990s alternative rock era and remains a pivotal album in the Stone Temple Pilot's discography. Critics praised the band's musicianship, Scott Weiland's charismatic vocals, and the album's songwriting. Core showcases a diverse range of musical styles, blending elements of alternative rock, grunge, hard rock, and even psychedelic influences. The band's sound is characterized by powerful guitar riffs and a melodic bassline. The album strikes a balance between heavy, grunge-infused tracks and more introspective, melodic compositions. Songs such as 'Sex Type Thing' and 'Wicked Garden' exemplify the band's heavier, hard rock side, while tracks like 'Plush' and 'Creep' showcase their ability to craft emotionally charged, radio-friendly ballads. The album's eclectic mix of styles contributed to it's widespread appeal and longevity in the alternative rock scene. The top-notch Analogue Productions reissue earmarks are all here: Mastered directly from the original master tape by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and cut at 45 RPM. Pressed at Quality Record Pressings, and housed in tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jackets with film lamination by Stoughton Printing.Tracklist:0 Side 1 1
