Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge by Mudhoney

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge, Mudhoney's second studio album, came out on Sub Pop in 1991, at a moment when the Seattle band were weighing a jump to a major label and decided to stay put. Good thing for the label: the record shipped 50,000 copies first time out and is credited with keeping Sub Pop afloat.

Conrad Uno produced it, and it's pure garage-punk grunge, all fuzz, grime and cheap-amp snarl, with Matt Lukin rumbling on bass and guitarist Steve Turner, who has called it his favorite Mudhoney album from start to finish, wringing every drop of sludge from the strings. Let It Slide went out as an EP in Europe and the US, padded with bonus tracks and leftovers, including another take of "Check-Out Time", while "Into the Drink" went out to promote it. "Good Enough" is the track that crept onto the countdowns.
