Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney

Superfuzz Bigmuff, Mudhoney's debut EP, came out on Sub Pop in October 1988, the band barely months old after rising out of the ashes of Green River in Seattle. Jack Endino produced it at Reciprocal Recording, and original bassist Matt Lukin holds down the low end while the guitars do their worst.

And their worst is glorious: fuzz so thick you could stand a spoon in it, garage-punk snot, sludgy riffs and howling vocals that sound like they were recorded mid-brawl. "No One Has" is a prime cut, all scuzzy swagger. Along with their debut single "Touch Me I'm Sick", this record did much to define what grunge would sound like, even if Mudhoney themselves stayed stubbornly underground. It was reissued in 1990 as Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles.
