One movie is somewhat responsible, if not completely responsible for grunge. Cameron Crowe's 'Singles' whihc dropped in 1992. I saw it in the theatre when I was a freshman in high school, and understood maybe half of it. Now at the age of thirty……….something, I can say I base my life on it's teachings. And that's good or bad. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the OST, and it looks as if Sony Music will be celebrating with an expanded reissue.
Pre-orders for a double-CD and triple-LP box set of the Singles Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition) have appeared on Amazon’s UK site. Both editions feature the original 13 tracks plus 18 new ones including demos, instrumentals, and “Touch Me I’m Dick” by Dillion’s fictional band in the film, Citizen Dick, which featured Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, and Jeff Ament. Allededly this drops on February 15th and the track listing below comes from Amazon. Remember, to quote Cliff Poncier…………"Well, I don't like to reduce us to just being part of the "Seattle Sound." I'd like to think of us as expanding more. Like, we're huge in Europe right now. I mean, we've got records… uh, a big record just broke in Belgium."
