Screaming Life Fopp is a compilation album by Soundgarden that combines their debut EPs in their entirety into a single release. It was originally released on May 11, 1990, through Sub Pop Records. Sub Pop later remastered and reissued the album on November 24, 2013.
The album combines the band’s first two studio EPs: Screaming Life (1987) and Fopp (1988). It was released in 1990 by Sub Pop despite having been recorded in 1987-88, after Soundgarden‘s two subsequent full length releases, Ultramega OK (1988) and Louder than Love (1989), had gained them considerable popularity. There are two cover songs on the album; Swallow My Pride is a Green River cover and Fopp is an Ohio Players cover.
The 2013 reissue contains an extra track, Sub Pop Rock City, that is not present on the original release. Sub Pop Rock City was a track recorded during the same pre Ultramega OK era but previously only available on the Sub Pop 200 compilation.
