1993 UK pressing
Another great band that were mishandled & promoted terribly by their label.
They had a signature hit with “Believe”, an amazing record, but after that, had their promising ball dropped by external parties.
This is a record that Ive been offered STUPID money for over the years, numerous times, but I could never sell it.
It’s an amazing album; one of MANY albums from MY year in music, 1993.
A year that altered my life forever.

@TheVinylApe I feel like a lot of bands suffered that fate around that time. My (largely uninformed) guess is that post-Nevermind, a lot of label folks thought the gold rush was on and were looking for the one act that was gonna put them on Easy Street.

@donutage that was 1000% the case.
All ANY of the labels could hope for after Nirvana/Alice/Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/Pumpkins etc… was a band that could maybe give them 1 or 2 really big singles, and maybe sell 500k - 700k records.
Tons of bands had one massive song and sold a good amount of records off that one song. Those days are LONG GONE.
