Condition: New (Re-sleeved)
Cultural Facts:

1. While recording Tragic Kingdom, Gwen Stefani was still working shifts at a department store in Anaheim—she’d go from folding clothes to tracking vocals that would soon play on MTV.

2. The band’s orange stage theme came from a real fruit theft—Tom Dumont once borrowed a box of oranges from a local grove to decorate their early gigs.

3. “Don’t Speak” was originally written as a love song before the breakup; Stefani rewrote it mid-recording, crying through takes that ended up on the final mix.
