All Music Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine 

Courtney Love completely revamped Hole before recording their second album, keeping only Eric Erlandson in the lineup.

That is one of the reasons why Live Through This sounds so shockingly different from Pretty on the Inside, but the real reason is Love's desire to compete in the same commercial alternative rock arena as her husband, Kurt Cobain.

 In fact, many rumors have claimed that Cobain ghostwrote a substantial chunk of the album, and while that's unlikely, there's no denying that his patented stop-start dynamics, bare chords, and punk-pop melodies provide the blueprint for Live Through This.

Love adds her signature rage and feminist rhetoric to the formula, but the lyrics that truly resonate are the ones that unintentionally predict Cobain's suicide.

For all the raw pain of the lyrics, Live Through This rarely sounds raw because of the shiny production and the carefully considered dynamics.

Despite this flaw, the album retains its power because it was one of the few records patterned on Nevermind that gets the formula right, with a set of gripping hooks and melodies that retain their power even if they follow the predictable grunge pattern.

POSTAGE PRICES

I have revised postage prices having kept the old prices for a long time.

My prices are based on carefully averaged parcel weights because I use strong recycled cardboard.

LP weights & covers vary considerably, (it is rare that any two parcels are exactly the same weight)

BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM:

If you buy more than one item ebay will not automatically calculate the postage savings for combined parcels:

Please email to let me know after an item has finished if you plan to bid on subsequent items - then again when you’re ready, email to let me know & I can then send your Invoice with adjusted postage savings.

i.e., it costs the same to post 1, 2, or 3 singles to UK, Europe or ROW & 1, 2 or 3 LPs to UK, (see full chart below)
