The record


Title: Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
Year/Genre: 1994, Grunge, Alternative Rock, 10/26
Condition: New - 2019 Remaster (LM) | Members: Stone Temple Pilots (N/A) | Producer: Brendan O'Brien
Cultural Facts:

  1. The Cover Came From an Old Opium Label: Illustrator Dale Sizer was hired to recreate an old Chinese opium label owned by one of the band members, but time ran out, so a retoucher cleaned up the original and Sizer added the clouds and sky. The title appears on the cover only as the Chinese character for purple.
  2. 12 Gracious Melodies: The original release had no track listing on the back cover, just a decorated cake reading "12 Gracious Melodies," a clue to the hidden 12th track.
  3. Wiffle Ball in the Parking Lot: Cut with Brendan O'Brien at Southern Tracks in Atlanta, the album was recorded, mixed and mastered in about three and a half weeks, with breaks spent playing basketball and wiffle ball in the parking lot. Scott Weiland sang every vocal in one week, and Purple debuted at No. 1.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
