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!

One of the bests! Too bad you don't see this kind of compilation these day's.

Joostone

Since this will not be available in the EU. Can someone help me out here?
Much appreciated!!

demetrios

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.

True but it's pretty much 1 vinyl per customer on RSD, and there's not many going around on this one.

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.
