Description
This is the seminal debut EP (Sub pop records) , from iconic indie Seattle rock band MUDHONEY: in excellent condition NB. has been kept in plastic wrapping..
A completely unique item, signed on the front by Steve Turner and Mark Arm! when I bought it from basement record store 'Rough Trade records' (Covent Garden ), in 1988 while they were on a UK tour to co-incide with the release of the record.
The cover artwork is a photograph of frontman Mark Arm and guitarist Steve Turner performing live by photographer Charles Peterson. it is signed thus:
'My arm is cool Steve turner (his writing is slightly faded ) My head is cold Mark Arm. (written in Gold marker pen)
During initial release, the EP sold poorly , however, it has since been acknowledged as one of the seminal records of the Seattle scene. In mid-2008 the EP charted at #25 on the UK Indie Album Chart, a peak for the EP, twenty years after its release.
Along with Mudhoney's second album Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge, it was included in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. In its review, Jamie Gonzalo called it "sexy, smart, humorous and hard", as well as writing "[Mudhoney] emerged from the underground with this mischievous workout, achieving tense and dramatic musical structures with Turner's scalping guitars, Mark Arm's angry vocals, Matt Lukin's mighty bass and Dan Peters' propulsive drums."[7] Kurt Cobain listed the EP in his top fifty albums of all time.[8][9]
