This is the second studio album by alternative rock band Hole. The title is derived from a quote in the film `Gone With The Wind.' Considered a contemporary classic, this record was included in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of `500 Greatest Albums Of All Time.' Features production by Sean Slade and Paul Q Kolderie with mixing by Scott Litt and J Mascis. Review: New vinyl bought from 'Zon? - Made in Netherlands 2016 - Your two vinyl choices in the recent past were to get the German issue and usually pay for overseas shipping (City Slang / Berlin version) or the one that most said was a bootleg (no identifiers on back cover). If you are now buying this new on desertcart, you are likely getting what is being referred to as the 2016 "USA release", meaning available in the states instead of Europe (but evidently not made here: this "USA" release actually was made in the Netherlands and carries such a sticker). It was also mastered by Capitol. You can see the differences on the back of the album, both in the bottom right based on whether it says DGC (the new USA release), City Slang (German), or is blank. The new USA release (first picture) also has a different, noncursive font for the word "thank" on the back cover and the "Made in Netherlands" sticker on the shrink wrap. I can't say how the three versions sound compared to each other, I only have the one, but for those who like to know what they are getting if you buy new from 'Zon you will get the 2016 "USA" release (made in the Netherlands). I think getting the new USA release but coming with a made in the Netherlands sticker will also confuse some folks. But the album inside is definitely new, and copyrighted 2016. As to the album itself, a 4 1/2 star effort, Side 1 almost a perfect album side and Side 2 bringing it down just a tad. I'll let others debate over whether it was Courtney, Kurt, or whoever who really wrote it. Bottom line it is good, close to Nirvana's Nevermind or STP's Core from that same time period. From a vinyl quality standpoint, I had lots of pops the first time through which went away with a good cleaning - must have had a lot of mold release still on it. The bass is mixed a little underwhelming compared to how the CD was and what I was used to. But that was easily fixed with the bass button. Courtney's voice is much clearer, but I think they sacrificed some of the deep tones to bring that out. Regardless, still well worth picking up, without having to pay for overseas shipping or worrying about pirated versions. Review: Better late than never... this is a classic - I was a teenager in the 90's, and fell firmly on the PJ side of the unnecessary "Nirvana vs. Pearl Jam" debate of that decade. In my adolescent arrogance, I assumed that Courtney Love got some media attention for this album because she was Kurt Cobain's partner. So I listened to PJ and Alice in Chains, and never gave this band a look/listen, and boy did I miss out. I bought Live Through This last year and was so impressed... this is by far one of the best 90's rock albums. I remember not caring for Courtney Love's voice part in Doll Parts (the only track I knew as a teenager). But that track was clearly a stylistic choice, because her vocal on this album is superb, as the band weaves through several subgenres of rock music. There isn't a weak track on this album... non-radio-single highlights for me include the punk thrasher She Walks On Me, the straight-forward rocker Plump, and the chant-introduced Credit In The Straight World. And if you like high production (which I do), the glossy production on this album is flawless. Lastly, as this album was released in 1994 (really?), I have to think that it was very influentual for the "post-grunge" rock bands that rose to fame in the late 90's and early 2000's... because they sound like they're imitating Hole in Live Through This. Please listen to this... your life will be better for it (not joking, well kind of).

New vinyl bought from 'Zon? - Made in Netherlands 2016
Your two vinyl choices in the recent past were to get the German issue and usually pay for overseas shipping (City Slang / Berlin version) or the one that most said was a bootleg (no identifiers on back cover). If you are now buying this new on Amazon, you are likely getting what is being referred to as the 2016 "USA release", meaning available in the states instead of Europe (but evidently not made here: this "USA" release actually was made in the Netherlands and carries such a sticker). It was also mastered by Capitol. You can see the differences on the back of the album, both in the bottom right based on whether it says DGC (the new USA release), City Slang (German), or is blank.

Chocada com a qualidade. Chegou em dois dias, bem embalado e em perfeito estado, tem um amassadinho na borda como quase todos os vinis mas imperceptível. Fiquei muito feliz com a minha compra.
