Rough Trade Essential

Geffen Records, founded by David Geffen in 1980, is a renowned music label with a rich history. It launched its journey with Donna Summer's "The Wanderer" and went on to release iconic albums like John Lennon's "Double Fantasy". Initially distributed by Warner Bros. Records, the label was later acquired by MCA Records in 1990. Geffen played a significant role in distributing Rick Rubin's Def American Recordings during its early years. After merging with Interscope Records in 1999 as part of the Universal Music Group, Geffen absorbed the entire MCA Records catalog and roster in 2003.

In 2013, Geffen became part of Interscope but was revived in 2017 under the leadership of CEO John Janick and President Neil Jacobson. Known for their distinctive branding featuring a stylized "G ball / sphere," releases from Geffen are often credited simply as "Geffen." Please note that any references to DGC or David Geffen Company should be listed under DGC.

With an impressive legacy and an ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional music, Geffen continues to make its mark on the music industry as a subsidiary of Interscope Geffen A&M within the Universal Music Group family.

Hole is an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1989. Led by frontwoman Courtney Love, the band gained significant popularity and critical acclaim throughout the 1990s. Known for their raw and powerful sound, Hole's music often explored themes of feminism, addiction, and personal struggle. With hits like "Doll Parts" and "Celebrity Skin," they became one of the most influential bands of the era. Despite various lineup changes over the years, Hole's impact on alternative rock remains undeniable.

Throughout their career, Hole released four studio albums that showcased their unique blend of punk energy and melodic sensibility. Their debut album "Pretty on the Inside" (1991) established them as a force to be reckoned with in the underground music scene. It was followed by "Live Through This" (1994), which received widespread critical acclaim and solidified their place in mainstream rock.

Courtney Love's fierce vocals and provocative lyrics were central to Hole's appeal. Her unapologetic approach to songwriting resonated with fans around the world. Despite facing numerous challenges both personally and professionally, Love continued to create music that pushed boundaries.

Back In Stock

'Live Through This' is the second studio album by Hole. It was released by DGC Records on April 12, 1994, just four days after frontwoman Courtney Love's husband, Kurt Cobain, was found dead in their home. It was Hole's only album to feature bassist Kristen Pfaff before her death in June 1994. Recorded in October 1993, the album marked a divergence from the band's unpolished hardcore aesthetics to more refined melodics and song structure, and features production by Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie, with mixing by Scott Litt and J Mascis. The album's lyrics and packaging reflect Love's preoccupation with beauty, and its songs contain repeated motifs of milk, motherhood, anti-elitism, and violence against women.LP - 180 Gram Vinyl with Download.
