{"product_id":"rehab-doll","title":"Rehab Doll","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of Seattle's rise to global rock supremacy in the late '80s and early '90s begins with Green River. Made up of Jeff Ament (bass), Mark Arm (guitar \/ vocals), Bruce Fairweather (guitar), Stone Gossard (guitar), and Alex Shumway (drums), the quintet put out three 12”s and a 7” single during its brief existence. Green River's influence on Seattle's music scene spread far and wide thanks to the members' dispersion into bands including Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, and Love Battery, as well as the punk-glam-sludge-rock songs they left behind. \"By '83, '84, there was definitely a movement that was happening within hardcore, like Black Flag slowing down for My War,\" says Arm. \"The Replacements and Butthole Surfers were rearing their heads, and they're very different bands, but they're not hardcore—the Replacements are pretty much straight-up rock, and Butthole Surfers were God knows what. Sonic Youth's \u003ci\u003eBad Moon Rising\u003c\/i\u003e was around, and a lot of really interesting post-hardcore things were happening.\" Green River, which formed in 1984, was part of that evolution, with a sound that straddled a lot of different genres—blues, punk, bloozy straight-ahead rock. The mini-LP \u003ci\u003eDry As A Bone,\u003c\/i\u003e which came out in 1987, and the band's lone full-length \u003ci\u003eRehab Doll\u003c\/i\u003e, which came out in 1988, were released as a single CD with a few bonus cuts, including their sneering cover of David Bowie's\u003ci\u003eQueen Bitch\u003c\/i\u003e and their marauding version of Dead Boys' \u003ci\u003eAin't Nothin' to Do\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1990—but they've been unavailable on vinyl for years. Now, these slices of Seattle music history are not only back in print, they're accompanied by items from the vaults that had been forgotten about for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDry As A Bone\u003c\/i\u003e was recorded at Jack Endino's Reciprocal Recording in 1986, and it shows the band in furious form, with Arm's yowl battling Fairweather and Gossard's ferocious guitar playing on \u003ci\u003eThis Town\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eUnwind \u003c\/i\u003eopening as a slow bluesy grind then jump-starting itself into a hyperactive chase. The deluxe edition includes Green River's cuts from the crucial Seattle-scene compilation Deep Six, as well as long-lost songs that were recorded to the now-archaic format Betamax. \u003ci\u003eRehab Doll\u003c\/i\u003e, recorded largely at Seattle's Steve Lawson Studios., bridges the gap between the taut, punky energy of \u003ci\u003eDry As a Bone\u003c\/i\u003e and the bigger drums and thicker riffs that were coming to dominate rock in the late '80s. This new edition of \u003ci\u003eRehab Doll\u003c\/i\u003e includes a version of \u003ci\u003eSwallow My Pride\u003c\/i\u003e recorded to 8-track at Endino's Reciprocal Recording, which features a more accurate depiction of how the band sounded when they played live. \"When I listen to these mixes, I think, 'This is how we actually sounded—this is the kind of energy we had,'\" says Shumway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen River's place in American music history is without question, but these recordings paint a more complete picture of the band—and of rock in the mid- to late-'80s, when punk's faster-and-louder ideals had begun shape-shifting into other ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP - Double Black Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP+ - Double Limited Loser Light Green Coloured Vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50448408740171,"sku":"1050840","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50448408510795,"sku":"1050837","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50448409329995,"sku":"1050839","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a2d42d4c-7d62-4ca0-938f-4a8096083766_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727091467","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/rehab-doll","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
