Description
Hole’s 3rd studio album Celebrity Skin on 2LP and in a Gatefold for the first time. It’s the IVC Edition so only 3000 were made world wide and they are all numbered! This one is number 1191. It is brand new, sealed, has never been opened or played but it came with a little wear on the top of the sleeve where the vinyl meets the outer sleeve and a little on the corner too. There are pics so you can see what I’m talking about. There are also pics of the front, back, all the corners, and the inner sleeve as much as you can see so you can just see the condition of the album for yourself. This is a super fun edition and I think you’ll really love it! Make sure to check out all the pics!

Like the California the band dissects, Hole’s critically lauded third album drips with unbridled decadence and glossy shine. “I wanted to marry great hooks with a dense vision,” the band’s frontwoman Courtney Love said at the time. “I want to be as perverse as I'd like to be — while making you hum along with it."
Inspired, in part, by T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land,” the band mostly scrap the noisy antagonism of past albums in favor of songs that Rolling Stone described as “accessible, fiery and intimate — often at the same time.” Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan co-wrote five songs, including the blistering title track, while Go-Go’s guitarist Charlotte Caffey helped with “Reasons to Be Beautiful.”
The 1998 album would prove to be both prophetic and timeless in its message. “Given the fires in Los Angeles in January, there’s an uncanny correlation with the apocalyptic version of the California dream we were going for in Celebrity Skin," says guitarist Eric Erlandson. "Yet, it also included the idea of rebirth, regeneration, revival…which perhaps is a helpful message for these times.”
“Hole act as though making big radio-ready hits smart now equals pure punk rock,” Rolling Stone wrote at the time. “Celebrity Skin is all minimalist explosion, idiomatic flair and dead-on rhythms.” Or as NME put in in simpler terms, “You may never need to hear a rock & roll record ever again."
Let me know if you have any questions. I’m a collector myself so I package all of the albums very carefully for shipping and treat them as if they were my own! Also, I’m not someone who is going to keep lowering and lowering the price, I mostly just forget, so if you’re interested just make me an offer! I am very open to reasonable offers so message me! Thanks!
Also, as someone who ships a lot of albums, I know that the safest way to ship them is to remove the vinyl from the outer sleeve and ship it separately as to not create any more wear. Since this one already has some wear you may want to consider doing this unless it’s more important to you to have it be sealed. I wrap everything in bubble wrap so everything is very protected even though it’s open. So if you would like me to carefully open it, take out the vinyl, and ship it with the vinyl outside of the sleeve in order to prevent any more wear, let me know and I will be happy to do that. If it’s more important to you to keep the vinyl sealed, then that is great too. Just let me know your preference and I’m happy to do whatever is best for you! Thanks!
