Jackpot Records is proud to announce our fabulous Record Store Day releases! We'll have Etta James "At Last" pressed on glorious marble green vinyl AND The 1984 demos from seminal NW grunge heroes Green River (feat. members of Pearl Jam & Mudhoney), also on LP. Both are SO AWESOME and will only be available in our store on April 16th, 2016 (RSD). So mark your calendars and come celebrate with us!!
*update. Just received word back from Jackpot Records. The Green River RSD vinyl will be sold exclusively in the USA. Won't be sold in Canada. D'oh! :(
RSD gets more and more frustrating every year :(
Indeed. Now I wonder if the Raw Power will also be an exclusive USA release. The Sonics Live At Easy Street feels like exclusive USA also. Their pledge account added 50 more last night.
Raw Power is a 'RSD First' release. These will be readily available in stores afterwards.
Somewhat surprised that there isn't a 10C version for this LP for RSD. There's been in past RSD's.
There's still more than a month to put it up for sale, if there is one. Although, with it being on Jackpot Records, I'm thinking it's extremely unlikely.
SUB POP USA: Green River’s Caustic 1984 Demos To See Vinyl Release By bazillion -
Our comrades at Jackpot Records in Portland have seen fit to prepare Green River’s dirty, caustic 1984 demos for vinyl release to indie record stores this upcoming Record Store Day, April 16. Billed as the first-ever grunge recordings, the sessions found their way to producer Jack Endino, and…well, Endino himself tells us:
“They’re calling this paleo-Green River record ‘1984 demos,’ but it is really Green River album number zero. This is the original Green River lineup of Mark Arm on vocals and Steve Turner on guitar (both later of Mudhoney), Jeff Ament on bass (later of Pearl Jam), and Alex Vincent on drums, no other guitarists, recorded an album’s worth of 8-tracks in 1984. It wasn’t my session, but I ended up with the reel, and finally got the okay to mix it down last summer. It sounds a lot more like a scrappy glam-punk version of Mudhoney than it does like the later Green River records. I think it has strong Alice Cooper (circa Killers) and Black Flag influences. Steve Turner left the band right after this.”
Here’s the track listing, (thanks to the Stranger):
1. 33 Revolutions 2. Leech 3. 10,000 Things 4. Means To An End 5. New God 6. Baby Help Me Forget 7. Take Me 8. Against The Grain 9. Tunnel Of Love
So besides serving as proving ground for future Mudhoney and Pearl Jam members, the demos include “Leech,” a song covered on the first Melvins album. Green River basically wrote the black-and-blueprint for sleazy, distorted, slow, and gooey punk as perfected in Washington and Oregon. If the vibe seems a little creepy, keep in mind that a serial killer was dumping bodies in the actual nearby Green River during the time the band was active. Good stuff!
If you want to hear grunge in its squirming, embryonic form, check out "33 Revolutions Per Minute" by Green River, the crucial Seattle band featuring future Mudhoney prime movers Mark Arm and Steve Turner, as well as future Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament and drummer Alex Vincent. It will appear on an LP titled 1984 Demos that Portland-based Jackpot Records is issuing on Record Store Day, April 16. (Also on RSD, Jackpot's reissuing Etta James's At Last! with four extra tracks on green vinyl.) Produced in cooperation with Arm, Turner, Ament and producer Jack Endino, 1984 Demos contains the first previously unheard recordings by Green River; Jackpot's pressing 2,000 copies, which include a double-sided concert poster, band sticker, and a download. Tracklist after the jump.

All the best. This will be the hardest of the four Pearl Jam related releases on RSD to get. Too bad it wasn't available outside the USA. Maybe 10club will sell some copies online on RSD, in a variant edition.
Don't fret - you have many friends in the US that are willing to grab extras!

Dude, I'd help, but I have to work a college event tomorrow. Someone hook D up!
Thanks! It's a tough release. USA stores only! If these were available here tomorrow in Canada I would totally be the first one outside Taz Records in Halifax to score a copy & try for a 2nd to help friends here.
