MVD and AmRep will also re-issue some of the best releases from the catalog on vinyl and CD starting in Dec 2015 and continuing into 2016 and beyond. The initial round of releases includes the first vinyl edition of the legendary Halo of Flies‘ Music for Insect Minds on double LP, the Cows‘ classic Cunning Stunts and a 3 LP set of the infamous Dope Guns ‘n Fucking in the Streets compilations featuring Mudhoney, Helmet, Melvins, Tad, Tar, Superchunk and lots more.

We’ve also got the premiere of a clip from the documentary featuring Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra talking about Mudhoney. “People look back a Nirvana or Soundgarden as what kind of launched the whole grunge mania, but for us underground and the vinyl junkies it was one song, it was ‘Touch Me I’m Sick’ by Mudhoney.” Watch the clip below.
