Philip Lewis – More Purple Than Black (CD, Album, 1998, StandBack Entertainment Inc. MLSB 003)

Why This CD Matters
A solo release from former L.A. Guns vocalist Philip Lewis, More Purple Than Black blends glam roots with late-1990s hard rock and garage rock influences. It captures a transitional period as glam-era artists adapted to a changing rock landscape. The album remains a lesser-known entry in Lewis’ catalog, appealing to fans of L.A. Guns and independent hard rock.

Collector Note
1998 US release on StandBack Entertainment Inc., catalog number MLSB 003. Released during Philip Lewis’ post-L.A. Guns career, the album documents his work outside the major-label system during the late 1990s. It remains of interest to collectors of L.A. Guns-related recordings and independently issued hard rock albums from the period.
