Pretty On The Inside (35th Anniversary)

Hole’s landmark 1991 debut, Pretty On The Inside, returns to vinyl for Record Store Day Essentials in a definitive new release overseen by founding guitarist Eric Erlandson. Newly remastered for vinyl, the album presents Hole’s incendiary debut with enhanced fidelity while honoring the spirit and impact of the original recording.

Produced by Kim Gordon and Don Fleming, Pretty On The Inside introduced Hole with a fearless fusion of noise, punk, and alternative, establishing the band’s singular voice and laying the foundation for one of the most influential careers in modern rock. Featuring the original lineup of Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson, Jill Emery, and Caroline Rue, the album remains as visceral, provocative, and vital today as it was when it first emerged from the alternative underground.

Pressed on ‘Pink Cloud’ vinyl, the RSD Essentials release delivers the album’s raw power with renewed depth and detail while preserving the intensity of the original recordings. Presented with the full album artwork and thoughtfully restored packaging, Pretty On The Inside returns as a definitive archival presentation celebrating the uncompromising beginning of one of alternative rock’s most distinctive and enduring bands.
