The Black Crowes Amorica (2LPs - 180GV)

The first Black Crowes album to come out on Rubin's renamed American Recordings label, the two-disc 180-gram vinyl reissue has been out of print in LP form since its initial 1994 release as a single album. The band, now a six-piece, had previously ditched the unreleased Tall, and its subsequent release caused plenty of controversy in the marketplace, with several retailers refusing to carry the album, whose original cover (later airbrushed) depicted female pubic hair visible under an American flag bikini. The original release eventually earned RIAA-certified gold for selling more than 500,000, peaking at #11 on the Billboard 200, spurred by three more Top 10 Mainstream Rock Tracks in "A Conspiracy" (#5, #23 Modern Rock Tracks ), "High Head Blues" (#8) and "Wiser Time" (#7).
