EXTREME / III SIDES TO EVERY

180-gram double LP

Includes insert with song lyrics

III Sides To Every Story is the third album by the Boston funk-metal band Extreme, originally released in 1992. It was the follow-up to the very successful Pornograffitti album. III Sides To Every Story was the last album with the band’s original line-up: Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Pat Badger and Paul Geary.

The album is structured as a concept album in three sections labeled as “sides” — a play on the notion of “different sides to a story” and that of “sides” of a vinyl album. The sides, mentioned in the song “Cupid’s Dead” as “three sides to every story” are named “Yours”, “Mine” and “The Truth”, and each features a distinct musical style and lyrical imagery.

Most of III Sides To Every Story was recorded at New River Studios, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and the orchestral parts were recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London. The single “Rest in Peace” reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock chart.
