Soundgarden have lined up a November 24 release for their rarities collection, 'Echo Of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across The Path'.
The record, which was prefaced last month by the release of Storm, a new song recorded in Seattle with Jack Endino, will be split into three discs: ‘Originals’, ‘Covers’ and ‘Oddities’.
Among the covers are previously unreleased Peel session takes on songs by the Beatles and Sly and the Family Stone, while the ‘Originals’ section also features Kristi, a ‘Down On The Upside’ outtake that is yet to see the light of day.
On ‘Oddities’, meanwhile, Twin Tower, Night Surf and a Steve Fisk remix of The Telephantasm will receive their first airing. Discussing the collection, which he curated, guitarist Kim Thayil said:
“Essentially this is a gathering together of loose ends from throughout our recording career. I believe 'Scattered Tracks Across The Path' describes this album best. As album sets go, this one has been fun to collect and compile over the decades. I personally may have referenced this project a number of times over the years, going back almost 20 of them to the mid-90s.”
