Stone Temple Pilots Release Live “Plush” Recording From Upcoming 25th-Anniversary Reissue Of ‘Core’


Stone Temple Pilots will be celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Core with two special reissues on September 29th. The first is the Core: Super Deluxe Edition, which includes four CDs featuring a newly remastered version of the original album, plus more than two hours of unreleased demos and live performances, including the band’s performance on “MTV Unplugged”. Also included is the original album on vinyl and a DVD that contains a 5.1 Surround Sound Mix of the album along with videos for the album’s four singles. The set, limited to 15,000 copies worldwide, comes packaged in a richly detailed hardcover book (12 x 12) with rare and unseen photographs.

Also available on the same day is a 2-CD Core: Deluxe Version, which contains a newly remastered version of the original album expanded with rare b-sides and previously unreleased demos. A single disc remaster of the original album will be available as well.

In anticipation of that packed collection, Stone Temple Pilots have teamed up with Loudwire to bring you the exclusive premiere of their performance of “Plush” from a July 2, 1993, show at the Castaic Lake Natural Amphitheater that you can hear in the player below.
