25th Anniversary of groundbreaking album on double LP!
Includes hits "Lightning Crashes" & "Selling The Drama" plus three bonus tracks!
First released on April 26, 1994, Throwing Copper transformed Live into one of the most lyrically impactful and instrumentally powerful bands of the modern alternative rock era. Topping the Billboard 200 Albums chart a year after its debut, Throwing Copper also features two No. 1 Modern Rock singles ("Lightning Crashes", "Selling The Drama") and has since been certified 8x multiplatinum by the RIAA, selling more than 8 million copies.
Produced by Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads) and recorded at Pachyderm Recording Studios in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, Throwing Copper captured the intense hard-rock sound the four-piece band from York, Pennsylvania established with their compelling 1991 debut album, Mental Jewelry. With the declarative "Selling the Drama" to the powerful message of "I Alone" to the passionate story of "Lightning Crashes," Throwing Copper confirmed Live's desire to form a deep connection with its ever-growing audience in as many ways as possible. Without a doubt, "Lightning Crashes" is the galvanizing force of nature that took both Live and Throwing Copper into the next stratosphere.
The 25th anniversary vinyl features three bonus tracks.
Features:
• 25th Anniversary Edition
