Soundgarden Releasing Rarities Collection on Vinyl
Last year, Soundgarden released a monster of a rarities package on CD, but now the band is giving wax 
fans what they need: a beast of a vinyl box set.
Due May 19, Echo of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across the Path is a six LP offering that consists of unreleased original tracks, covers and oddities, with each segment represented on two pieces of vinyl, housed in three separate jackets with unique artwork.
The songs were pulled from 26 years worth of material and hand-selected by Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil.
“We write and record a bunch of songs, but we’re limited to the space available, time-wise on an album,” said Thayil in an interview with Rolling Stone. “So when we make CDs, we go, ‘Here are these 10 or 11 songs that are going to make the album and here are these other songs that the record company is going to use on international releases or maybe B-sides for singles.’
“To us, it’s a drag because we love these songs,” he added. “We recorded them. We learned them. We tracked them. These are as valuable as anything else that we put on the record. That’s what Echo of Miles addresses. Some reviewers might hear it as outtakes or simply B sides, but these are Soundgarden songs that were never present on a Soundgarden album.”
