Mother Love Bone - Shine EP [Indie Exclusive 180g Sky Blue Colored Vinyl LP]

Shine is the debut EP by the American rock band Mother Love Bone. It was released on March 6, 1989, through Stardog/Mercury Records. This was the only compilation of recordings to be released during singer Andrew Wood's lifetime.

The EP was recorded in November 1988 at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, Washington with producer Mark Dearnley. Dearnley also mixed the album, Charles Peterson photographed the cover art. With the exception of the over eight minute long "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns", a majority of the songs here draw upon the band's rawer side. Vocalist Andrew Wood's dreamy lyrics are sung in a tenor heavily reminiscent of Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant. Mother Love Bone became the first of the new crop of Seattle bands to have a release on a major label. 

Released on 180-gram sky blue colored vinyl.
