''Ask for It'' EP by alternative rock band Hole, released on September 8, 1995. It was the band's second and last release on Caroline Records, the first being their debut album ''Pretty on the Inside'' (1991). Although the EP was released after 1994's platinum-selling ''Live Through This'', its contents were recorded by an earlier lineup of the band between 1991 and 1992. The EP is composed of three songs by Hole as well as several cover versions of songs by the Wipers, Beat Happening, The Velvet Underground, and The Germs. The recordings on the EP come from various performances, including a November 19, 1991 John Peel session for the BBC, a March 1992 studio recording session for a Wipers tribute album, and a live performance at the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood on February 11, 1992. ==Recording history== ''Ask for It'' featured songs recorded from several different sources; only one song on the EP was a studio recording, while the rest were from live performances with John Peel and at the Whisky A Go Go. ;November 19, 1991 Hole's first radio session, one of the famous ''John Peel Sessions'', was recorded prior to their second UK tour with Daisy Chainsaw and Therapy?. The session took place at Studio 4 and was first broadcast on January 5, 1992.〔Donohoe, Martin.

''Dirty Blonde, The Diaries Of Courtney Love''. (Picador; Great Britain edition, 2006) ISBN 978-0-330-44546-7. pg.92 and 93〕 During the session, live versions of "Doll Parts", "Violet", "Drown Soda" and "Forming/Hot Chocolate Boy" were recorded. ;February 11, 1992 The band's live performance at the Whisky a Go Go on February 11, 1992 was recorded by Carlos Nuñez. The show included covers of The Beatles' "Cry, Baby, Cry", and "Pale Blue Eyes" by The Velvet Underground. According to Courtney Love, the band had only played "Pale Blue Eyes" once prior at the Whisky A Go Go, at a show on December 19, 1991. Footage of this performance had been recorded by Love's friend Joe Cole, a road manager who attended the show with Henry Rollins. Cole was murdered in a robbery on the way home after the concert, and the footage was given to the band after his death.〔 During that performance, Love also stated that Kurt Cobain, whom she had then just began dating, walked into the club right as the band began performing the song, and described his entrance into the crowd as "the sea parting".〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=YouTube ) (Excision from ''Sunset Strip: The Movie'' documentary).〕 This show marked the final performances of drummer Caroline Rue and bassist Jill Emery, as they left the band after this concert. ;March 1992 In 1992, Hole recorded a cover version of "Over the Edge" by Portland punk band the Wipers for a tribute album titled ''Fourteen Songs for Greg Sage and the Wipers'' (1993). Several other bands— many from Portland and the outlying area— recorded covers of Wipers songs, including Nirvana, Poison Idea, Calamity Jane, Dharma Bums, and M99. Although Hole had been based in Los Angeles, Love had lived in Portland on and off between 1972 and 1985, and was part of the city's punk scene during the height of the Wipers' career.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=MTV )〕 The recording session for "Over the Edge" took place at producer and engineer Jimmy Boyle's residence in Hollywood in 1992. At the end of the song, Love added the lyrics, "You, go to Portland / You might take him with you / You, go to Portland".〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=PubliSpain.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ask for It」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
