While they were at it, the band dug out six early versions of tracks that wound up on "Ultramega OK". They handed the tapes over to longtime friend and engineer Jack Endino ( NIRVANA, MUDHONEY, SCREAMING TREES, SKIN YARD), who worked with the band to create a fresh mix of the album that, for the band, ties up this persistent loose end and remedies the sound of their debut album. In 2016, after worldwide success, a breakup, a reunion, and many albums and tours, the band finally acquired the original multi-track tapes to "Ultramega OK" and carved out time to dig into the remix. However, success intervened: the band rapidly scored a deal with A&M and began work on their major-label debut, "Louder Than Love", and the "Ultramega OK" remix project fell by the wayside as SOUNDGARDEN climbed their way to (ultra)mega-stardom. Thus, shortly after the album's release, the band decided to remix the album for subsequent pressings. While the band enjoyed working with the original producer, Drew Canulette, they soon realized they weren't quite happy with the final mix. "Ultramega OK" was originally recorded and released in 1988 on SST Records. This remixed and expanded reissue is a long-planned "correction" of the legendary band's Grammy-nominated debut full-length. Seattle grunge legends SOUNDGARDEN will release a remixed deluxe edition of "Ultramega OK" on March 10 via Sub Pop.
