Soundgarden's Sub Pop Reissues Streaming Online

11/20/2013
. (hennemusic) The forthcoming November 26 reissue of Soundgarden's debut Sub Pop EPs, 1987's "Screaming Life" and 1988's "Fopp", are both now streaming online ahead of next week's release.

Remastered by producer Jack Endino, the reissue marks the first time these tracks will be available digitally, and their first appearance on vinyl since the original, late-80s pressings (notwithstanding a long-gone, late-'90s repress of "Screaming Life").

"Ah, Screaming Life, Soundgarden's debut, and one of the first real records I made for anyone outside my own band," said Endino. "I already knew Soundgarden pretty well, since they and Skin Yard had shared the stage many times in Seattle's tiny club scene circa 1985-1986."

"Soon after opening Reciprocal Recording in July 1986, there I was with Soundgarden, trying to make the most of our eight tracks," he continued. "Somehow, we found room for all of Matt Cameron's 'bonus tubs,' Hiro's primordial Fender bass, and a whopping four tracks to share between Kim Thayil's mad guitar psychedelia and Chris Cornell's still-expanding voice. 'Nothing To Say' was the song that made us all look at each other and go, 'uh, holy crap, how did we do this?'" Check out the streams here.
