The 1992 film Singles is one of the best musical movies of the early ’90s, sitting with Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous as Cameron Crowe’s finest celluloid moments.
As is often the case with his films, the soundtrack is an absolute beast – and sold a tonne, too, mostly due to the inclusion of numerous rare Pearl Jam songs, and Alice In Chains’ ‘Would’; tracks that weren’t available elsewhere at the time.
Now a deluxe reissue of the soundtrack, out May 19, will feature many other songs that weren’t on the original 13-track album, a lot of which are yet to see the light of day anywhere else.
‘Touch Me I’m Dick’, the charming Mudhoney parody performed in the film by Matt Dillon-fronted band Citizen Dick (also featuring Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament) makes its first appearance on CD, as do two pieces of music Chris Cornell produced for the film’s score.
Poncier, a rare four-song EP by Chris Cornell (named after Dillon’s character in the film) also appears, and includes an early version of ‘Spoonman’. Live tracks from Alice In Chain and Soundgraden also feature.
