Yup, Shangri is a solid album, one of my favorites from STP.
If you haven't already you should check out "12 Bar Blues"...Scott's solo album...some really unique music that exemplifies how good a musician he really is.
Bought it the first day it came out. Very good album
Where's your man is one my personal favorites from it

Scot has said that's his favorite song to perform live
Yeah I read about that while watching that Comcast Music Choice channel, funny thing is I've never heard it live.
@Topic: STP does indeed kick ass. I've only listened to Core and Purple, but they're great albums, full of infectious tracks such as "Vasoline", "Wicked Garden", the (IMO) Soundgarden-esque "Big Empty", and "Sex Type Thing".
Yes! Super excited for this. No. 4 is their only album I don't have on vinyl.
I was fortunate enough to see STP with Scott several times between 1995 and 2010. Saw them with RHCP and Fishbone on the No. 4 tour and it was awesome. They were at their peak of excellence around that time as a live band, IMO.

Hesitant to pull the trigger as I was really hoping for a No 4 deluxe for the anniversary. There's some cool bonus tracks to choose from and that Vegas live show (or whatever they've got for that tour) could have been great.
We had a great time at this show. We were down in the pit and I got to shake Jeff's hand when he came into the crowd during Vasoline. Also got a pick from Robert!!!
Jeff does a great job as a frontman.

Picked up the 45 RPM Purple reissue. Can’t wait to listen! Soundtrack to the best summer of my youth.
Nice! Love that album. That one and Core that were released on colored vinyl a few years ago to Wal-Mart (and maybe some other large retailers) sound pretty horrible to me. My copy of Core is pretty unlistenable and Purple isn't much better.
I bought the Tiny Music box set and those records sound fantastic! I know they are capable of doing justice to those albums on vinyl but they missed the mark on my copies.

They did Core as an analog productions reissue as well. 45 rpm. Atlantic 75th anniversary reissues. That one sounds amazing. I expect Purple to sound amazing as well.

Good to know! I'll try to track them down.

yes, I heard that too, which is why I thought it was funny when Army of Anyone was playing it live...

Big Empty and Days of the week - very , very annoying.
Much like Mary, Mary on the new VR album.

see now those last two i think are quite catchy
i do agree with you on big empty though. very "eh" song
Some die just to live.

As much as I miss STP with Scott, I'm glad that the other members continue to share their music with the world. They are all badasses at what they do.
Also got a pick from Robert!!!
