MOTHER LOVE BONE
Shine
2025 Europe reissue
Sky Blue opaque vinyl

Been listening to a lot of Mother Love Bone this week, and they’re a good choice to end a long week & kick off weekend festivities.

As I mentioned before on this week’s previous post of Apple, I first learned of them from the Singles soundtrack.

“Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns” was always my favorite song on that album NOT named “Seasons” by Chris Cornell. It’s how I learned of Andy Wood, and it’s the reason I bought Shine, Apple, AND the purple 2xCD as a kid.

I like that they kept this reissue fully intact (unlike Apple), where they just repeat the whole 4-song program on both sides.

There’s no doubt in my mind (I’ve felt this way for decades) that they would have been bigger than ANY of those bands had Andy not died.

The fact that we never got to find out is one of the biggest (one of many) #90s musical tragedies.
