SOUNDGARDEN B-SIDES & RARITIES MASTERPOST

By popular demand (ok, one person but hey) I have uploaded my very own improvised version of what Soundgarden should’ve released some 16 years ago. It’s separated in four parts: non-album tracks (mostly outtakes and b-sides), covers (both live and studio), demos + remixes + collaborations (i.e. stuff I couldn’t put into the previous two categories) and a little bonus of a few rare Chris Cornell tracks and demos written/recorded during his time with Soundgarden and often falsely attributed to the whole band. All the included tracks are listed below. Some of the songs you can find on various singles or soundtracks or other sorts of rare promotional releases and I highly recommend you hunt those down and buy them (if you have the money of course). If any of the links aren’t working or if you know of something that I haven’t put in here but totally should OR if you just feel like discussing Kim Thayil’s beard and the magical powers it holds, feel free to message me. Enjoy!
