BOXSET REVIEW: Mudhoney \u2013 Real Low Vibe: The Reprise Recordings 1992-1998 (CherryRed Records)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Formed in 1988, Mudhoney were a key part of the grunge scene which emerged out of their home city of Seattle, and their early recordings for the Sub Pop label are among its best-loved releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They paved the way for the likes of Nirvana, Soungarden and Pearl Jam, without ever enjoying the same sort of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their sludgy, distorted sound inspired countless grunge and alternative rock musicians, and after second album Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge they were offered a deal by Warner-owned Reprise Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many fans saw the move to a major label as a sell-out, but the years they spent on it did produce some good music, collected for the first time on this 4CD set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring the classic line-up of Mark Arm (vocals\/guitar), Steve Turner (guitar), Matt Lukin (bass) and Dan Peters (drums), the original releases are augmented by bonus tracks, B-sides, EPs, compilation tracks and promo-only releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The big attraction for fans will be disc four, which makes the eight live tracks from the 1993 promotional album On Tour Now<\/strong> commercially available for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Songs like Suck You Dry, Stupid Asshole and No End In Sight demonstrate the power and vitality of Mudhoney as a live band, and why they continue to be a popular live draw today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1992’s Piece Of Cake<\/strong>, the first album in the set, sticks to the tried and tested garage-punk formula which brought them to the attention of Reprise in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Stooges influence is clear, and standout tracks include Suck You Dry, Blinding Sun and Living Wreck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Released at the peak of grunge, it sold 150,000 copies, and made the Top 40 in the UK, where they always enjoyed more chart success than in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It adds seven tracks from the between-albums EP Five Dollar Bob’s Mock Cooter Stew,<\/strong> but curiously omits Over the Top, the B-side of the Suck You Dry single which was on the 2003 Reprise reissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Disc two is 1995’s My Brother the Cow<\/strong>, and though it’s a bit more polished than their earlier work, it does include some fine songs, like Generation Spokesmodel, Into Yer Shtik and 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to grunge’s decrease in popularity at this point, the record only sold around 40,000 copies on its initial release. This version comes with a bumper 13 bonus tracks, which more than doubles it in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow Hit Today<\/strong>, from 1998, was their Reprise swansong, and Arm admits in the sleevenotes that even before they started recording it, they felt it would be their last album for the label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It sold poorly, shifting just 12,000 copies, as grunge had run its course to all but the diehard fans, but it’s a very enjoyable album which dips a toe into blues-rock, with highlights including Poisoned Water, Oblivion and Night Of The Hunted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re replacing worn-out original albums, a latecomer to Mudhoney, or a completist who wants (almost) everything from this era, this is where to find it. 8\/10.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
