Soundgarden - A-Sides

180-gram gatefold double LP on black vinyl

Lots of people think of Nirvana and Pearl Jam when they think of the Seattle scene, but the genre-shattering Soundgarden were among the true founders of the Seattle sound. This collection follows them from their early years in the late '80s through today, including big hits such as "Black Hole Sun" and "Outshined" from their multi-platinum A&M releases and some rare selections. The best from one of the most influential bands of the decade.

"This collection of what can loosely be defined as 'hits' (hard rock isn't noted for its singles action) briefly sweeps over the indie years with SubPop and SST, placing emphasis on the band's successful A&M years. Singer Chris Cornell's histrionic wails grabbed the bulk of the attention, but the band's true power rested with the drumming of Matt Cameron and the twin guitar attack of Cornell and Kim Thayil. One need only listen to 'Fell on Black Days' or 'Blow Up the Outside World' to understand that Soundgarden's complex riffs and superb dynamics were its great strengths." — Amazon.com
