A letter from Courtney to Kim Gordon in 1991, asking her to produce Hole’s first record, Pretty On The Inside.
After signing with Caroline Records, Love sought Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon to produce the album. In January 1991, Love sent her letter, a Hello Kitty barrette, and copies of the band’s early singles, mentioning that the band greatly admired Gordon’s work and appreciated the production of the STP record Gordon agreed on the condition that her friend, Gumball frontman Don Fleming, assist.
Gordon said that Love “was either charming and nice or screaming at her band” but that she was “a really good singer and entertainer and front person.”
