Soundgarden – Screaming Life/Fopp (CD)
Product Details
Before Chris Cornell's voice became arena-filling and inescapable, Soundgarden was crawling out of Seattle's Central District with a sound that owed as much to Black Sabbath as it did to the city's rain-soaked DIY underground. These early Sub Pop recordings capture the band at their hungriest, when the riffs were rawer and the whole thing felt genuinely dangerous, a moment in Pacific Northwest rock history before anyone outside the region was paying attention.
From the depths of the Sub Pop archives comes a reissue of Soundgarden's thunderous opening salvo, Screaming Life, plus bonus tracks from the Fopp EP and Sub Pop 200 compilation. This 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). All tracks have been remastered by Seattle studio wizard and producer of the original Screaming Life and Sub Pop 200 sessions, Jack Endino.
