 Event: BLACK FRIDAY 2023 Release Date: 11/24/2023 Format: LP Label: Screaming Trees LLC Quantity: 2500 Release type: 'RSD First' Release In early 1991 Screaming Trees were in a shambles. Mark Pickerel had left the band a year earlier and Van was off playing bass for Dinosaur Jr. Mark Lanegan and Gary Lee Conner were set to continue with Donna Dresch on bass and a friend of hers on drums. Uncle Anesthesia, the band’s first major label album, on Epic, had just been released. While it seemed that working with the new band members might work, Gary Lee was despondent at the prospect of again playing in the band without his brother as Van had already quit and come back once in 1988. He came up with a plan to ask his brother to return to the Trees if he could get Van’s good friend Dan Peters, who was on a partial hiatus from Mudhoney, to play drums with the band. It worked, Van flew home and the band started rehearsals and soon was touring for the new Epic album. During this time Screaming Trees went into Conrad Uno’s Egg Studio in Seattle to record a couple of demo tracks. After finishing, Mark Lanegan uncharacteristically suggested they record a live set while all the gear and microphones were set up. All alone in Uno’s Seattle basement, the Trees kicked some rock and roll ass. No audience, no cheering crowd but raw Trees power nonetheless. Here is that session which sat unheard for over 30 years. It’s a great testament to why Screaming Trees are remembered as one the Northwest’s most exciting and intriguing live bands. Pressed on white and yellow “fried egg” colored vinyl.

Thx for the info - looks great.
Now let's hope this also goes on streaming platforms too, as after 30 yrs in a box, to only press 2500 copies is kinda silly IMHO...

Picked it up this morning and it sounds great. I'd love for a digital release also since I listen to more music outside of my house.

Seems to be exclusive to U.S. Couldn't find it in the Uk. Went into 3 shops and they said it wasn't on their list.

Great interview, thanks for posting! I really hope we see more Screaming Trees releases, particularly the lost release post Sweet Oblivion. I've loved everything I've heard that's been shared on youtube to date from that era, particularly Hearts and Diamonds and that gorgeous Piano song, neither of which are on youtube anymore  |

Or maybe it’s for fans around the world who don’t have access to the 2500 copies pressed. It’s between $90-100 Australian to buy that record here if you are lucky enough to find one in a store. I’m sure some people have the money to do that, while others might not. But I guess to be anything more than a “fair weather fan” you need to be able to drop that kind of coin on an album. 🤨 |

They need to allow time for the RSD exclusivity to lapse. |

Yes, why embrace modern technology & have the ability to purchase this in the highest quality possible, vs getting an inferior needle drop rip. Logic's sound to me... |

Totally love the feel of this. Orange Airplane hits hard right out the gate. Marks voice is so dynamic. He had quite the scream at this point. Hearing some of these songs in the last show in 2000 illustrated how his voice changed. It was definitely rougher at the end of the trees and these songs took their toll, but I really dig them now more than I ever have. I also love the little (very little) bit of banter. It showed he could be playful. I could see the smile on his face.
