I got my copy of the silver vinyl this week. Pretty hefty cover with the 3D lenticular front image. I'm still gonna resist getting the super duper set. I only got the vinyl because I never had BMF on vinyl in the first place. Same goes for the Rush 40th anniversary 2112 editions. Too much dough, even with the new stuff. SG did pack a lot more worthwhile stuff in their set, though.

Received my set. There's a LOT here, so it's going to take me a few days to get through it all. I've started with the Live at the Paramount DVD which I'm currently about 3/4 of the way through and jeezus, this is awesome. This is what Motovision should have been. Unless it craps out toward the end this is easily the best live Soundgarden release ever.

Yes the super deluxe is pricey, but for me the live stuff is worth the extra $$. Went to New York last week, had Live at the Paramount on headphones the entire flight. Excellent. Easily blows away Live on I-5. The live dvds are great, especially the Dallas and Miami footage. That version of Cop Killer, watch the crowd go bezerk.

Soundgarden's 'Badmotorfinger' at 25: Kim Thayil Looks Back
This box set marks the first time you're releasing your full concert from the Paramount, part of which came out on the Motorvision home video. Was this something you'd just been holding onto?
When we were working on this box set, Jeff, our A&R at Universal, asked what we had in our vaults, and I said, we probably have some live stuff that was taken from that Paramount show. There were a couple tracks that were mixed and released as B sides, but a lot of the B sides were corralled together for the Echo of Miles collection. And Jeff found something that said, "Live at the Paramount." And I said, "Yeah, we got some B sides out of that. That's old news, dude." He goes, "No, there's full multis of the whole thing. It's all stereo. Not only that, there's video." Video?! We had shot all this footage and retained possession of it and through either the band's neglect or management's neglect or the label, it just got shelved. And it wasn't properly archived, because I was not aware of it. So they got it together. I thought, "OK, this is going to be crappy-sounding." I'm sure we're drunk and stumbling over our instruments, which was the punk-rock thing to do. Like, "Look, I can open a beer bottle with my guitar." But it wasn't bad. And then they fixed up the audio. And the final result is unbelievable. So we got the whole live concert on video and audio, so we included the two CDs in the super-deluxe box set and we got the whole DVD of a live show. I had no idea this material existed.
What did you think when you finally saw the footage of yourself in 1991?
I expected it to be sloppy and drunken, just kinda screwy. And it's way tighter than I imagined. A lot of times I look back on the live stuff we recorded and it's a lot better than it sounds like from the stage. That's an impressive surprise.
What else have you taken from the experience of digging through your archives?
Since we've been attending to the catalog these past seven years, we've gotten a chance to give some airtime to songs that didn't have the opportunity to be heard or performed before, like "Storm," which we did for the Echo of Miles box, and "Black Rain" [included in the box set and on the compilation Telephantasm], which was a song where the lyrics weren't dialed in because Chris would later use some of those for "Fell on Black Days." We've also been looking at some songs that Matt was a fan of before he joined Soundgarden that we maybe jammed on but never recorded. Some of these have come out, and some were never released. So there's some of those out there and we're going to attend to those as well. Some of them might be catalogue releases – not reissues because the songs haven't come out yet – but they're from sessions that were never released. Some may be re-recordings or reinventions, like, let's re-explore the song with this lineup. That's really a consequence of me going through the catalogue and looking at what we have and collecting the B sides. Do you have more reissue or catalogue releases that you're planning?Yes. Definitely. Since 2010, when we began attending to our catalogue, we were doing Telephantasm. We're now looking back at the catalogue and we're realizing which songs we never released or recorded. And then we start looking forward. So we're juggling that with the new ideas we're coming up with because we're constantly writing while at the same time attending to the archives. On that note, how far along is the new album?
We're still in the writing process. We have a dozen things demoed. First things first, here: Matt has these Pearl Jam commitments, and Chris has been doing a lot of touring to support Higher Truth and Temple of the Dog.

I bought the super deluxe box. It's brilliant, but one little thing bugged me. It came unwrapped from supplier, meaning no hype sticker (as seen in Ben Shepherd unboxing vid). A small thing I know, but part of the package, and when you pay that much for the box...
So, unlikely, but anyone got the hype sticker and not fussed on keeping it?
(Don't worry, I know a number of you will be laughing at me for this).

Ah man....no wrapping??....They defiled your box??!!....This is blasphemy. Yeah, I saw on a Discogs listing (I think) that in the UK they don't always have items shrink-wrapped, whereas in US apparently it always is. If they did remove it, why? They're only increasing risk of damage before sale!

The other day I received my copy of the 7" Jesus Christ Pose vinyl single for being one the first 1000 people to pre-order the box set. I honestly completely forgot about it until I got a random email telling me it had shipped.

Can't decide whether to open it, or leave it unopened like a bona-fide collector's item...

Motorvision and Paramount DVDs -
I want to have a proper listen and figure out which of the two nights each Motorvision track is from - unless someone already knows? Some MV tracks are clearly the same footage as the full show, but from a quick listen, there may have been some overdubbing or else mixing of parts from the two nights... Just be interesting to know what is what.
