Hole - Live Through This (Black Vinyl)

Hole's 1994 album Live Through This returns in a newly remastered vinyl edition overseen by founding guitarist Eric Erlandson. Following the uncompromising sound of Pretty On The Inside, the record opened a new chapter for the band, broadening its musical and lyrical range while retaining the urgency that had defined Hole's earliest work. The album became the group's breakthrough and remains closely associated with the alternative-rock landscape of the 1990s.

Produced by Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade, Live Through This features Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson, Kristen Pfaff and Patty Schemel. Its twelve-song sequence includes “Violet”, “Miss World” and “Doll Parts”, alongside tracks such as “Plump”, “Asking For It”, “Softer, Softest” and “Rock Star”. The supplied release notes emphasise the combination of direct songwriting, intensity and a wider musical scope that distinguished the album from its predecessor.

For this 2026 edition, the album has been newly remastered for vinyl and pressed on 180-gram black vinyl. It is presented with the original album artwork and thoughtfully restored packaging. A particularly notable physical detail is the inclusion of the complete original booklet for the first time in this vinyl presentation, restoring an element of the album's original package alongside the remastered audio.

The result is a focused archival edition built around the original twelve-track album rather than additional material. From the opening “Violet” and “Miss World” through to the closing run of “I Think That I Would Die”, “Gutless” and “Rock Star”, Live Through This is presented as a complete 180g black-vinyl reissue with booklet, restored artwork and new vinyl mastering.
