A Thousand Years Wide: Soundgarden Expand "Badmotorfinger" in a Big Way

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

When news first broke that Soundgarden were planning a 25th anniversary edition of their third album, 1991’s Badmotorfinger, it was almost hard to imagine what extra content would be included. After all, 2014’s Echo of Miles: Scattered Tracks Along the Path had compiled just about all of the group’s B-sides across three discs.

Well, with the grunge explosion celebrated heavily in the Soundgarden-adjacent camp (box sets devoted to Mother Love Bone and Temple of the Dog are among 2016’s bigger collections), the band is ready to unleash an expanded Badmotorfinger—and what a set they’ve cooked up. At its biggest, the album will be expanded to seven discs: four CDs, two DVDs and a Blu-ray.

The grunge explosion that elevated Nirvana’s Nevermind and Pearl Jam’s Ten at the end of 1991 also lifted Badmotorfinger. “Outshined” and “Rusty Cage” earned the band their first exposure on wider rock radio and MTV, and the album became the group’s first Top 40 effort. This set the stage for 1994’s Superunknown, which hit pay dirt on alt-rock radio with “Spoonman” and “Black Hole Sun.”

Astoundingly, much of Badmotorfinger’s deluxe content has never been released before. You get the remastered album, a disc of studio outtakes (with just one released track, a version of “New Damage” with Queen guitarist Brian May), a 1992 live set at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre on two CDs and a DVD, an additional DVD of live footage and music videos (including the DVD premiere of the Motorvision VHS) and the entire album newly remixed in 5.1 surround for Blu-ray.

The battery-operated(!) box set edition also comes with a 52-page book, a 12” x 12" lenticular print, four 8” x 10" band member photo cards, stickers and an iron-on patch. More frugal fans can opt for a 2CD deluxe edition, 2LP 180-gram vinyl or just the original album remastered on CD.

All formats are available November 18. Check out below for pre-order links and full track details!
