O fotógrafo Kevin Westenberg, que trabalhou com o Soundgarden na década de 1990, revelou em seu Instagram que a banda vai relançar a coletânea “A-Sides” em vinil.

“O Soundgarden está atualmente no processo de lançar o primeiro material desde a morte de Chris”, escreveu Kevin na rede sociail. “Acontece que a coletânea de grandes sucessos, ‘A-Sides’, nunca foi lançada em vinil. Agora que o vinil está ‘de volta’ ela será relançada em breve”.

Westenberg ainda revelou que o material contará com imagens inéditas do grupo de Seattle feitas pelo fotógrafo.

SOUNDGARDEN are currently in the process of releasing the first material since Chris’s untimely passing. Turns out that the initial greatest hits collection, ‘A-Sides’ was never released on vinyl. Now that vinyl is “back”, this album on vinyl will soon be re-released. Of course this makes perfect sense especially for sound quality. Release date TBC. Sourcing new unseen photos and refining the older photos in the original package is now under way with various images being looked at for inclusion. I went through a period 20-25 years ago where I felt that with certain artists, a black background was the purest form of expression. In my mind it was also representative of the anti-white background. This represented the opposite of commerciality, which also allowed visual focus on the artists face, expression and enhanced the dark mood of the era. The void and black space always meant more to me in my earlier works, than the parts of the photo one could see. If there was ever a subject that would fit this prerequisite, it was Soundgarden and my vision of what Soundgarden was for me as a band. This set up was also part of the 18 hour marathon shoot at the Ok Hotel for the DOWN ON THE UPSIDE campaign. Good Times.
