Stone Temple Pilots Desirable Signed "Purple" First UK Pressing with Rare Purple Vinyl! (Beckett/BAS LOA)

Purple is the second studio album by Stone Temple Pilots, released on June 7, 1994, by Atlantic Records. The album, building on the foundation laid by the band's debut album Core (1992), was a major commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 252,000 copies sold in its first week. It remained at the top of the chart for three weeks, eventually selling over six million copies. It spawned a number of successful singles; "Vasoline" and "Interstate Love Song" both topped the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and reached number 2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, while "Big Empty" also reached the top ten on both charts. Lesser-known album cuts "Pretty Penny" and "Unglued" were released as promotional radio singles.

Offered here is a desirable first UK pressing of Purple, handsomely signed on the cover by all four members of the band in blue felt tip marker. Headed up by the late great Scott Weiland, other signers include Dean DeLeo, Roberto DeLeo and Eric Kretz. In overall fine condition. Original purple vinyl included! Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
