Offered Here: Hole 1990s/2000s Courtney Love Handwritten Unused Lyrics #2. This unique offering features a page of unused lyrics handwritten by Courtney Love, dating from the late 1990s or early 2000s. Originally belonging to a personal sketchbook, this piece captures the visceral and poetic songwriting style that defined Love’s career with the alternative rock band Hole. The document serves as an intimate artifact from a transformative period in rock history, showcasing the raw creative energy of one of the era’s most influential frontwomen. It measures approximately 7 by 8 inches.
Provenance/Authenticity: Steve Grad LOA.
Additional Information: During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Courtney Love and her band Hole achieved significant commercial success and critical acclaim, with albums such as "Celebrity Skin" released in 1998. Known for their blend of punk and grunge, Hole became a staple of the alternative rock scene, and Love's songwriting during this period was central to the band's identity.
Condition: The sheet is in very good condition, particularly given its nature as a working draft from a personal notebook. It displays minor, age-appropriate signs of wear and storage, including characteristic edge texture from its removal from the sketchbook. These signs of handling do not compromise the integrity of the handwriting and instead add to the authentic provenance of the piece.
