• Track Listing

This Seattle supergroup featuring Chris Cornell and members of Soundgarden and Mother Love Bone came together in loving tribute to their fallen friend Andrew Wood, the Mother Love Bone singer who fatally overdosed in March 1990. Recorded in 15 days late that year, Temple of the Dog’s only album also features guest vocalist Eddie Vedder (this was just as Pearl Jam were first forming). The album, an act of pure joy and love, went on to sell over a million copies and earned universal praise from critics as well as those hip to the nascent grunge scene. "Temple of the Dog" has been newly mixed in stereo for the CD and double-vinyl release here, and that vinyl version comes in a super-cool lenticular gatefold cover with an etching on side D. Fans frothing over the news that the band is doing their first-ever tour this fall will want the deluxe edition—which adds demos of "Say Hello 2 Heaven," "Reach Down," "Call Me a Dog," "Times of Trouble," "Angel of Fire" and other bonus tracks including outtakes—or the super deluxe box. That big beauty contains all of the above plus a 5.1 surround mix (and the stereo mix) on a Blu-Ray Audio disc as well as a DVD featuring music videos, a 1992 Lollapalooza performance, a fan-shot performances from Alpine Valley and more!
