Product Details
Stone Temple Pilots embraced experimentation and open-mindedness to record the bands third album, 1996s TINY MUSIC… SONGS FROM THE VATICAN GIFT SHOP. Released on March 26, 1996, the album is a pitch-perfect amalgamation of the band members musical personalities, yielding three #1 hits Big Bang Baby, Lady Picture Show, and Trippin On A Hole In A Paper Heart. On the eve of the albums 25th anniversary, we’re proud to announce the upcoming release of a newly remastered version of TINY MUSIC… expanded with unreleased studio and live recordings.
TINY MUSIC SONGS FROM THE VATICAN GIFT SHOP: SUPER DELUXE EDITION will be available on July 23. The 3-CD/1-LP set includes a newly remastered version of the original studio album on both CD and vinyl, plus unreleased early versions, instrumentals, and alternate takes along with a complete concert recording from 1997.
Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz recorded TINY MUSIC at a home studio tucked away in Californias Santa Ynez Valley with Brendan OBrien, who also produced the bands two previous albums, CORE and PURPLE. The 25,000-square-foot house became a muse for STP, who recorded in different rooms from the attic to the garden and used the expansive space to experiment with new sounds.
Along with a newly remastered version of the original album, this one features 15 unreleased tracks that pull back the curtain on the creative process. Those include early versions of nearly every song on the album with nascent incarnations of Tumble In The Rough, Pops Love Suicide, and Seven Caged Tigers. The selections also feature an alternate take for Big Bang Baby, and a percussion mix of Trippin On A Hole In A Paper Heart. There are also instrumentals for Ride The Clich and Adhesive, plus the unreleased Kretzs Acoustic Song.
An exclusive feature of the Super Deluxe Edition is a previously unreleased live recording of the bands March 14, 1997 concert in Panama City Beach, Florida. STP is dialed in from start to finish, delivering blistering takes of songs from the new album (Tumble In The Rough and Big Bang Baby), as well as hits from their earlier records (Vasoline, Plush, and Interstate Love Song.)
