SOUNDGARDEN TEST PRESSING/12" EP

 

Screaming Life/GRUNGE-INDIE  

Screaming Life is the debut EP by the grunge band Soundgarden, released in October 1987 on Sub Pop. It was recorded in Seattle's Reciprocal Studios by Jack Endino, who also produced albums for Nirvana and Mudhoney. Screaming Life was later combined with the band's next EP, Fopp and released as Screaming Life/Fopp in 1990.

 

"Hunted Down" was Soundgarden's first single and also the first song on Sub Pop's "hold music" tape. According to guitarist Kim Thayil, "you would call them up, and when they put you on hold you heard Hunted Down".

 

"Nothing To Say" is Soundgarden's first B-side, released on the "Hunted Down" single. The song also appeared on the KCMU compilation tape "Bands That Will Make Money".

 

"Hand Of God" has an interesting backstory. Jack Endino found old rolls of quarter-inch tape at a garage sale, and some contained recordings of a preacher giving sermons in the early 1950s. Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell had the idea to have a preacher on "Hand Of God", which led to Jack bringing the quarter-inch tape into the studio. The recording was synched with the eight-track machine, copied to an empty track and by coincidence (or because, as Endino says, "God smiled upon us") the tape rolls matched perfectly with the song. Cornell also added his own preacher-style vocals to the song. However, according to Endino, the labels on the rolls of tape were near-illegible and thus the name of the preacher remains unknown.

 

We got this record from someone who was involved with the band/label. He writes “Very clean with an unfortunate warp it got in shipping. But because its warped its hardly been played. Hand labeled discs and jacket. The disc lettering was always smeared.  Front photo and back blurb are stick on xerox. Blurb on back is some fanzine of the day reviewing Soundgarden along side Dino Jr. and Squirrel Bait.”
