LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-MARCH 26, 2019…ON THIS DATE IN 1996 STP RELEASED THEIR THIRD ALBUM ‘TINY MUSIC… SONGS FROM THE VATICAN GIFT SHOP’. AFTER TAKING A BREAK IN 1995 THE BAND HOLED UP AT A MANSION IN SANTA BARBARA WHERE THEY RECORDED THE ALBUM.
‘TINY MUSIC’ PRODUCED 3 HIT SINGLES ON THE ROCK CHARTS, BUT SALES OF THE ALBUM STALLED WHEN STP CANCELLED A GOOD PORTION OF THEIR TOUR TO ENABLE SCOTT WEILAND TO GO TO REHAB.
EVEN WITH THE SETBACK IN TOURING, THE ALBUM SOLD 2 MILLION COPIES (STILL SHORT OF THE OTHER 2 ALBUMS BUT IMPRESSIVE COMMERCIALLY NONETHELESS).
HERE’S THE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR ‘TRIPPIN’ ON A HOLE IN A PAPER HEART’
