Warehouse: Songs and Stories (1987) is the last studio album by Hüsker Dü, originally released by Warner Brothers as a double album on two vinyl LPs. The band dissolved following the tour in support of its release, in part due to disagreements between song-writers Bob Mould and Grant Hart over the latter's drug use. This album, along with Candy Apple Grey, showcases the increasing maturity of Mould and Hart's writing -- a change which alienated some long-time fans.

The album's title comes from the fact that the group had actually rented some warehouse space in which to write and rehearse, a change from their former practice of writing new material and testing it out on live audiences.

"Could You Be The One", was released as a single and video; it received some MTV airplay, but little radio support from the college stations that had long been supporters of the band. Other singles released from the album were "She's A Woman (And Now He Is A Man)" and "Ice Cold Ice".
