Editorial Reviews

Review

"...for all the play and worldwide attention several Seattle-area bands got during the 1988-92 period, at the end of the day...there was Mudhoney - and then there was everybody else...These recordings were so life-affirming upon their release, connecting everything great about the sixties (biker movies, fuzz boxes, old guitars, three-minute songs) with the frothing, punk rock of the early 80s, that a whole new 'style' of music was born. They called it grunge, but to me it was amped-up, clear-the-room, ramalama rock...and it was about as joyous and as fun a noise as anyone'd heard in years." --Jay Hinman, liner notes.

Product Description

In 2008 both Sub Pop and Mudhoney are celebrating their 20th anniversary. This is the deluxe, re-mastered edition of "Superfuzz Bigmuff", containing the original EP in its correct running order, singles, demos, and two blistering live recordings from 1988, all re-mastered, or in some cases, mastered for the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not easy being green, July 11, 2008

It gets kind of lonely being a die-hard Mudhoney fan. They are without doubt one of the great rock bands of my lifetime, they enjoyed as much hype as any of the grunge bands the first time around, they continue to release outstanding records and still they can't get arrested.

This epic slab of rock was released in May and this is the first Amazon review. What gives?

For the record, Superfuzz Bigmuff was an absolute battering ram in its original incarnation and remains so to this day. Not only does this recording rock really, really extra-especially hard, it is a lot of fun too. This is the sound of a great band exploding (in a really good way).

The deluxe edition adds the sub pop compilation tracks from the period and the second disc of live stuff is very welcome. The live in Berlin songs are stellar but the radio station stuff from Santa Barbara leaves a lot to be desired fidelity-wise.

Good liner notes too. Reminds you of why you became a fan in the fist place.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too many repeats, November 14, 2009

For me a reissue should offer something more than the original to make it worthwhile. This certainly does that, but the problem here is too many repeats. Mudride appears 4 times, In and Out of Grace and Touch Me I'm sick each appear 3 times. It might have been better to take the Bleach route and include an entire live show from the era or something like that. The music is great, the reissue track list just has too many duplicates. Give us something new!
