A great compilation that gives the listener a chance to return to the glory days of late '80's/early 90's Seattle. Many of the bands here I had never heard of - much less heard - but was pleasantly surprised by the discs' overall quality.

If you're a fan of Nirvana, Mudhoney, Melvins, Screaming Trees, Beat Happening, etc, you'll enjoy this set, re-issued in an attractive mini faux leather box with a cool booklet. Photos by Seattle scenester Charles Peterson. Excellent; should never have been out-of-print.

this CD is the essential grunge-record..it simply rocks! I bought the CD because i am a fan of blood circus, swallow and chemistry set, and these artists has some of the best tracks on the whole album. but the other artists surprised me too. "sex god missy" by tad is one of my favorite tracks by tad, and a good way to start this album. the fluid song is even better, and maybe one of the best songs on here. soundgarden and green river(later pearl jam) where maybe along with nirvana the most important grunge bands in the 80's, and all three bands are(of course) represented here. "big cigar" by catbutt has a garage-punky fee l to it, and it's also one of by favorites. buy this one if you like grunge, but if you think this is a f***ing creed-nickelback-puddle of mudd thing, don't..

I recently REcovered this CD. It's an excellent compilation of some of Sub Pop's early artists. If you're looking to see where it all started, or you just want a solid grunge CD, this is it. Don't loan it to anyone...

This CD is a must for any Seattle grunge fan that almost died with Cobain. It features indie label Sub Pop's greatest bands from early versions of Nirvana and Soundgarden to the best of Mark Arm in Green River and Mudhoney. It also includes a twist by being the first rock compilation to include a poem as one of the songs. If you loved the grunge era of just a few years ago you'll definitly love this album. Amen.

this cd's amazing also with such history read about it in many books like michael azerrad's our band could be your life, also i wanted to add i'm not positive but i believe that mark arm was in the thrown ups, as well as mudhoney and green river.

Hmm, like I care... how can you argue with Mudhoney's cover of "The Rose"?!?!?!?!? Honestly people...... and the Stephen Jesse Bernstein track.... what hilarity!!!! "Split," by the Days and Nights.... this stuff kept me company through my turbulent high school years... how can I forget it? I'm sure it's pure nostalgia, but it's a great portrait of a time and place. The book "Loser" about this same Seattle scene is pretty good, too.

This record is alright. I skipped some of the tracks, while others I played over and over until i could stand them no more and then played them one more time. Some of the highlights are Spank Through, The Rose and a few others I can't remember while the absolute best songs on the album are Green river's Hangin Tree and the Fastbacks' cover of Green River's Swallow My Pride. It's a good album to have around if you're a fan of Sub Pop.

This is a pretty good cd and homage to northwest "grunge" music via sub pop records, one of the biggest little labels at the time. What can I say, it opens with Tad, google image them. (Very Large Man)

uhhh almost all the tracks on this alblum are pretty good but if your like the poser kid who only thought the only good thing about it was a song by that over played nirvana band dont get it

all i have tooo say is that this is music. if You don't like It, You should. SubPop are true artists
