This album and the Let it Slide ep knocked me sideways at the time. I think I can play them back in my head from start to finish. Does anyone have the skinny on what Bob got up to on the recent remaster for its 30th anniversary?
I have nothing to add other than this remaster pleases me. EGBDF is one of my favorite records of all time. That E.P. is great too.
I told this story in the old forum, but it is one of my favorite Mudhoney memories. When I was 15 they were playing 1st Ave. in Minneapolis and I lived about a 1.5 hours drive away. My buddy who just barely turned 16, "borrowed" his grandmother's car without permission, and we decided to head to the show with barely any $ for gas and NOT enough money for the show. This was far beyond our permitted travel at the time. We thought we'd try to sneak in somehow, or just hang out and listen from the sidewalk. My buddy, with the quick mind, spots Matt Lukin going to the Mudhoney van to grab something. He challenges Matt "If i can beat you at arm wrestling, will you let us in the show?" We were little twerps and Matt was a big guy to us. He just laughed and said, "I ain't wrestling you, you might break my arm!" He wrote our names down an put us on the list. We ask if they could play Fang's The Money Will Roll Right In from the e.p. When they did their encore, Matt yelled "This ones for the arm wrestlers" and kicked into said song. We were floating for weeks after that! Rock and Roll dreams do come true!
