This. This is a daymaker. Soundgarden are going to re-release their first two Sub Pop EPs - Screaming Life and Fopp - on vinyl and as a digital download. 

This is great for two reasons:

1. Fopp on vinyl currently sells for $50, at minimum.

2. Neither of these albums have ever been officially digitized. 

Screaming Life producer Jack Endino - who also oversaw the remastering- released the following statement.

Ah, Screaming Life, Soundgarden's debut, and one of the first real records I made for anyone outside my own band, I already knew Soundgarden pretty well, since they and Skin Yard had shared the stage many times in Seattle's tiny club scene circa 1985-1986. Soon after opening Reciprocal Recording in July 1986, there I was with Soundgarden, trying to make the most of our eight tracks. Somehow, we found room for all of Matt Cameron's "bonus tubs," Hiro's primordial Fender bass, and a whopping four tracks to share between Kim Thayil's mad guitar psychedelia and Chris Cornell's still-expanding voice. "Nothing to Say" was the song that made us all look at each other and go, "uh, holy crap, how did we do this?" 

Check out a new video for "Nothing to Say" below:

 

The double-vinyl release drops November 26.
