Stone Temple Pilots - Core re-release
« on: August 01, 2017, 03:07:54 PM »
So STP's CORE is being re-released in deluxe and super deluxe editions.

Quote
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS roared on to the scene 25 years ago with their raucous debut "Core". A breakout success, the album peaked at #3 on the Billboard charts, dominated radio waves with hits like "Sex Type Thing" and "Wicked Garden", and has been certified eight times platinum by the RIAA. The band also took home the 1994 Grammy Award for "Best Hard Rock Performance" for their smash single "Plush".

To mark the legendary album's silver anniversary, Rhino will release two versions on September 29, which is 25 years to the day of the album's original debut. The first is the "Core: Super Deluxe Edition" ($79.98), which includes four CDs featuring a newly remastered version of the original album, plus more than two hours of unreleased demos and live performances, including the band's performance on "MTV Unplugged". Also included is the original album on vinyl and a DVD that contains a 5.1 Surround Sound Mix of the album along with videos for the album's four singles. The set, limited to 15,000 copies worldwide, comes packaged in a richly detailed hardcover book (12 x 12) with rare and unseen photographs. The music from the Super Deluxe version will also be available via digital download and streaming services.

Fans can pre-order a limited edition bundle of the "Core: Super Deluxe Editon" at www.stonetemplepilots.com which includes a bonus replica 7-inch vinyl single of "Plush" that was originally released in the U.K. in 1993. This exclusive bundle is limited to 1,000 copies.

Also available on the same day is a 2-CD "Core: Deluxe Version" ($19.98) containing a newly remastered version of the original album expanded with rare b-sides and previously unreleased demos. A single disc remaster of the original album will be available as well.

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS (guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo, drummer Eric Kretz, and vocalist Scott Weiland) debuted with "Core" in the fall of 1992 and by the following summer were one of the biggest rock bands on the scene, powered by exhilarating live shows and a string of now-classic songs from the album, remastered here for the very first time.

Nearly all of the music on the second disc of both versions is making its commercial debut. Of the nine demos included, four were recorded between 1987 and 1990 when the band was known as MIGHTY JOE YOUNG. One of those, "Only Dying", is an unheard song the band had planned to re-record in 1994 for "The Crow" soundtrack. The idea was later scrapped after the star of the film, Brandon Lee, was killed during production. The disc continues with five unreleased demos from their original Atlantic sessions and concludes with four b-sides, including the jazzy "Swing Type Version" of "Sex Type Thing", as well as two acoustic versions of "Plush" — the "Acoustic Type Version" recorded with the full band and the rarely heard "first take" that was recorded by Weiland and Dean DeLeo for MTV's "Headbanger's Ball" in 1993.

The third disc contains two fiery live recordings from the summer of 1993, the first an unreleased performance at Castaic Lake Natural Amphitheater near Los Angeles and the second from the Reading Festival, making its U.S. debut here. These high-energy shows feature performances of all but two songs from "Core" as well as an early live version of "Lounge Fly", a song the band has just written a month earlier that would appear the following year on the band's second album, "Purple".

The band's iconic appearance on "MTV Unplugged", recorded in November 1993, gets its first official release on the final CD in the set. This would be their last performance in support of "Core" and includes reworked, acoustic versions of "Wicked Garden" and "Sex Type Thing", the debut performance of "Big Empty", which would later appear on "Purple", and a cover of David Bowie's "Andy Warhol".

"Core: Super Deluxe Edition" also features the original album pressed on vinyl, and a DVD that presents a 5.1 Surround Sound Mix of "Core" together will all four of the videos made for the album: "Sex Type Thing", "Plush", "Wicked Garden" and "Creep".

Any fans on here? I loved Core and Purple, and I long ago lost my copy of Core and was waiting for a set like this to replace it. But I have no interest whatsoever in owning the vinyl. Some cool material on the Super Deluxe (Amazon has it cheaper for pre-order), however.

Any fans of this record on here? Are you getting this? (Either version.) I have the Super Deluxe on pre-order through Amazon, but I'm squarely on the fence. While I want the live material (and it's the only way to get it, it seems), I don't really want the vinyl or DVD 5.1 mix, nor do I need the hardback book with pictures. I've got almost two months to change my mind and get the standard deluxe edition I suppose.

Looks cool.  That Plush Acoustic from HBB is classic, and that Unplugged was good as I remember.

I like Stone Temple Pilots.  I find it interesting how much their sound changed over a relatively short time, especially considering that they kept the same four guys (well, after a few hiatuses here and there while Weiland got his shit together, temporarily it seems).  I never checked out the new lineup with the other dead guy, but it sounds like I didn't miss much.  I won't bother checking out a single song; one song doesn't really tell me anything except what the band wanted the masses to hear.  If they put out a new album, I'll pick it up, though, since people are saying he sounds more like Weiland.  Weiland had one of my favorite rock voices ever.

That's cool. I never owned Core. I bought Purple back in the 1990s but I don't know what happened to it. I'll buy the least expensive versions.

Core - Purple - Tiny Music were three great albums.  After that they dropped off in terms of quality, few great songs but as a whole the albums were spotty.

I like Shangri-la a lot.

Purple is my favorite.

The new guy sounds good, but the song is nothing special...

Lounge Fly has always been my favorite song by them by far. A great driving rhythm.

Lounge Fly is one of my faves, too.  Great feel to that song.

New song - never enough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-jqMrlIZ4A

Meh, but regardless I really like how the new singer sounds. Apparently naming wise, their new album which is self titled is the follow up to 2010's self titled... Two self titled records in a row? hmm...     not that its big deal, just caught my eye

I can't get enough of their new song "The Art of Letting Go." It's so good!

Oooh, that's good news!  You never know how a new lineup is gonna sound, either in the studio or live, but this is good news.  I have every album so far, and it sounds like I have another one to pick up.

It was really surreal. The new singer looks just like weiland and sounds just like weiland, but there's something just ever so slightly off. For most of the show, I swear to god, I thought I was watching Scott weiland, which was awesome, but weird at the same time. It was still awesome though.

And man, when they played Dead and bloated. I totally lost my shit. Wasn't expecting it and they totally nailed it.  :metal

Very cool. I decided to skip them on this tour. I don't like the new album that much. And while the new singer is good, I did see STP with Weiland (bad show, he was drunk), and with Bennington (great gig), and just didn't want to go to a show supporting a new record I didn't like.

Glad you had fun and it was a great gig. Maybe next time around...
