Hole - Live Through This: Wikipedia Album Entry

Released on April 12, 1994, Live Through This debuted on the charts at number 56, never hitting the top forty in the U.S. In December 1994, the record went gold, having sold a total of 500,000 copies, going platinum six months later for having sold 1 million copies. To date, the album has achieved worldwide double platinum status. Released just four days after the discovery of Kurt Cobain's body.

There have been unsubstantiated rumors regarding Cobain's involvement in this record, from alleged instrumental and songwriting contributions, to claims that he effectively wrote the entire album. What is known is that Cobain sang background vocals for at least a few tracks; he can be heard in the bridge of the released version of "Asking For It", though his vocals are low in the mix. An alternate mix has surfaced which more prominently features his singing. He can also be heard towards the end of "Softer, Softest."
