Skin Yard Select

Arriving in time for Christmas, Skin Yard is releasing a 7X7" boxed set of their favorite tracks from over the years.  It's called Select and it features 14 songs from 1985-2001.  You can pre-order now in "Dayglo Neon Pink" (200 copies) or "Candy Apple Red" (800 copies).

Skin Yard Select is a limited-edition collection of 14 songs lovingly curated by co-founders, Daniel House and Jack Endino from their four studio albums that spanned the years 1985-1991, and one song from the limited-edition collection from 2001, Start at the Top. Over the course of Skin Yard’s existence, there were 4 distinct drummers who appeared on their recordings: Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam), Jason Finn (Presidents of the United States of America, Love Battery), Norman Scott (Gruntruck with Skin Yard singer, Ben McMillan) and Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees, Mad Season, Walking Papers). ALL FOUR Skin Yard drummers will be included between the 14 songs contained on Skin Yard Select. 

The package consists of 7 individual 7" singles each in their own sleeve and enclosed in a custom hard-cover slipcase. ALL records will be pressed on colored vinyl in a limited edition of 1000 (800 on candy apple red and 200 on dayglo neon pink).
