Warehouse: Songs and Stories (1987) is the last studio album by Hüsker Dü, originally released by Warner Bros. Records 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.[citation needed] Other singles released from the album were "She's A Woman (And Now He Is A Man)" and "Ice Cold Ice". Warehouse: Songs and Stories peaked at #117 on the Billboard Top 200 and also charted for a week on the UK Albums Chart at #72.
