Stone Temple Pilots je americká rocková skupina, která vznikla v San Diegu v roce 1989 a navzdory kořenům v grunge vytvořila svébytný zvuk spojující alternativní rock s prvky psychedelického rocku, blues a country.
Album Purple, vydané Atlantic Records 7. června 1994, je jejich druhým studiovým počinem a přineslo zásadní průlom – debutovalo na první příčce americké Billboard Chart a prodalo se ho přes šest milionů kopií. Deska zachycuje skupinu v tvůrčím vrcholu: songy Vasoline, Interstate Love Song a Big Empty (známá z filmu Havran) spojují silovité riffy s melodickým citem a teatrální vokální linkou Scotta Weilanda. Tato edice na 5 CD obsahuje originální album, demonahrávky a akustické verze, dobový koncertní záznam z New Haven z 23. srpna 1994 i sedmipalcový singl Interstate Love Song v limitovaném počtu 1000 kusů.
V době vydání alba kapelu tvořili Scott Weiland (zpěv), bratři Dean DeLeo (kytara) a Robert DeLeo (baskytara) a Eric Kretz (bicí).
