Ever since the Music On Vinyl label started, they have been re-releasing some great grunge albums that were previously extremely hard to get on vinyl. There were some magnificent Alice In Chains, Screaming Trees and Pearl Jam releases, and of course earlier this year for Record Store Day the Mad Season album. But this self-titled compilation album by MOTHER LOVE BONE, i must admit, is my favourite grunge record ever. Or actually this one together with the Temple Of The Dog album, and perhaps also the Singles soundtrack (two records of which i really hope that Music On Vinyl will release them some day). This beautifully coloured first edition of 1500 numbered copies (my copy being # 0223) was sold out in no time, and that's not very surprising of course. And this release was actually not just hard to get on vinyl, but even impossible - because it had never been given a vinyl release at all in the first place! The band, with Pearl Jam members Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament, had only their original releases like the Apple album and the Shine EP out on vinyl - not this compilation, which came out after singer Andrew Wood died. So here it finally is, in all its purple glory. Yummy.
