Experience their blistering guitar riffs, powerhouse percussion, and unforgettable hooks exactly how they were engineered to be heard—on high-definition CD and heavyweight studio-grade vinyl.

Explore the Hole Catalog on Wax & CD

Every Hole album represents a distinct and powerful evolution in 90s and 2000s rock. We stock official DGC Records, Geffen, and Universal Music Group releases, including:

  • Live Through This (Vinyl & CD): A cornerstone of alternative rock history and one of the most influential albums of the 1990s. Feel the emotional intensity of generational anthems like "Violet," "Doll Parts," and "Miss World" through the heavy, organic low-end and raw vocal clarity of analog vinyl.

  • Celebrity Skin (Vinyl & CD): The multi-platinum 1998 commercial breakthrough. Featuring a razor-sharp, polished power-pop sound, this album shines on physical formats with massive, radio-defining singles like "Celebrity Skin," "Malibu," and "Awful".

  • Pretty on the Inside: The band's unapologetically abrasive 1991 debut. A must-own for purists and punk collectors looking to experience Hole’s early noise-rock roots and independent underground energy.

  • My Body, the Hand Grenade & Rarities: Dive into the band's creative vault with B-side compilations, outtakes, and live radio recordings that capture Hole’s improvisational intensity and club-era fury at its peak.

Why should I listen to Hole on vinyl?

1990s alternative rock and grunge thrive on physical analog formats. Vinyl preserves the natural room dynamics of live studio percussion (such as Patty Schemel's driving drum work) and Eric Erlandson's layered guitar tones. Listening on wax allows you to experience the full, uncompressed vocal range of Courtney Love—from quiet, melodic whispers to throat-shredding screams—with unmatched depth and warmth.
