Mother Love Bone (also known as Stardog Champion) is a compilation album by the American rock band Mother Love Bone. The album contains material from the EP Shine (1989) and the album Apple (1990). It was released by Polygram subsidiary Stardog/Mercury Records after the band dissolved due to the death of vocalist Andrew Wood.
Before Pearl Jam, there was Mother Love Bone. Future Pearl Jam members Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass) were founders of this Seattle-based glam/punk outfit, which was fronted by flamboyant singer Andrew Wood. But despite countless accolades from the press and their peers, the group's career was cut short before it could truly blossom due to tragedy.
Both Gossard and Ament had previously been members of Seattle garage rockers Green River (a group that also included future Mudhoney members Mark Arm and Steve Turner), and upon the group's breakup in 1988, the guitarist and bassist stuck together, looking to form a group more a kin to the arena rockers of their youth (Kiss, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Queen, etc.). Joining Gossard and Ament was drummer Greg Gilmore, second guitarist Bruce Fairweather, and the aforementioned Wood on vocals. Wood (who was previously known as Landrew the Love Child as a member of another Seattle outfit, Malfunkshun) was the complete opposite of the prototypical Seattle frontman as he patterned his look and vocal style after such renowned frontmen as Freddie Mercury, Paul Stanley, and Marc Bolan. But although the group had a few similarities to the then-flourishing glam metal scene, the group's sound was tougher and more rooted in classic rock than their soon-to-be disposable glam contemporaries.

this is awesome, but no way I'm paying 36 for this wax, this is better that getting shine+apple on the bay, but I curious to know why there's nothing about it on music on vinyl site, and nothing on the newsletter either... pity I will miss one of the first 1500...
... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...
I won't pay 36 bucks for this, but this is way better than getting shine and apple from the bay, I've checked with the MOV people, how come there's nothing on their website or newsletter?

I checked MOV also, no mention of MLB reissue.
I sent an email to them inquiring about the legitimacy of this...
If I hear back, I'll post.

Is it possible its a premature posting? Sort of like how MOV was going to release singles and mad season on vinyl but never came out (although I suppose Mad Season is coming out so that's different).
I'd be interested in buying it but it does seem a tad bit steep. It doesn't say the 1500 purple ones are limited to Soundstage? Maybe they'll make their rounds?

You are right, it doesn't say the 1500 purple ones are limited to SSD, but since they are the ones who are taking preorders at the moment, at 39 first, now at 36, one can assume that the purple vinyls have been allocated to the SSD site... but that's how I think, I might be worng... on the other hand, we all should remember what happened to many of those who preordered PJ20 vinyl during October and November, 2011... just sayin'...

Yeah I almost jumped at this but sometimes I wonder about the stuff this site sells. I don't think this is an official release by the band. More of a bootleg copy that they're calling limited edition.
Music On Vinyl is a vinyl only record label that releases high quality 180g LP and 7" vinyl pressings of titles licensed from a wide range of record companies and artists who control their own repertoire.
These are both re-issues of classic titles, or a simultaneous vinyl release to compliment a CD/DVD release, all marketed under the Music On Vinyl brand, which vinyl lovers worldwide recognize as a trusted name providing a superb LP vinyl product.
As for our sources; We are provided with the best possible (analogue) masters available. On top of that, our sound engineer has over 35 years of experience in cutting and mastering records for (major) labels.
I ordered my Jar of Flies/Sapp from Soundstage on Orange/Blue vinyl.
It was all good they pack everything really well but they charged me $20 to ship to Canada.
MOV sounds great but the outer bags are crap.
Since they are imports from Holland MOV always cost more.
All said and done this Mother Love Bone cost me just under $70 CDN shipped!
Kinda ridiculous if you ask me!

Its a legit release. I have this on CD. Came with a bonus disc. Its the vinyl version of an official MLB release - after Andy's death. No bootleg man.
I just pre-ordered, is there any way to know if you scored a purple one or do you just have to wait to see when it comes in the mail?
Assuming that all goes well with it being legit and what not.
I would assume that you'd just find out when you get it. I just ordered a copy too, hoping for that purple!

Hmmmmm
As for this being a bootleg, MOV is a legit label and their releases are legit. They reissue a lot of great stuff in high-quality vinyl.

In my experience w/ SoundStageDirect, they sell legit stuff. And I have picked up a few MOV titles from them.

I just question, why isn't it listed over on http://www.musiconvinyl.com/ 's database?
Maybe it's hot / fresh which will be updated soon?
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
It was all good they pack everything really well but they charged me $20 to ship to Canada.
MOV sounds great but the outer bags are crap.
