This Friday, May 19th, Sony will release a deluxe reissue of the classic Singles soundtrack to celebrate its 25th anniversary. In addition to the original album’s 13 era-defining tracks, the new edition will include 18 rare and unreleased songs on a bonus CD. Among those are a number of contributions from the late Chris Cornell, including the Soundgarden frontman’s entire 1992 EP, Poncier, and a pair of tracks never before made available. His recent and unexpected passing makes the reissue’s timing perhaps even more poignant.
In anticipation of the release, Sony has today debuted a behind-the-scenes video from the set of Cameron Crowe’s seminal grunge film soundtracked by one of the OST’s rarities. Paul Westerberg’s “Dyslexic Heart” was part of the original version, but this acoustic take of one of the Replacements member’s first solo recordings has never previously been shared on CD.
Check it out by watching the video above. The behind the scenes footage is from Josh Taft and was created and courtesy of Cameron’s official website, The Uncool.
The reissue also includes new liner notes and track-by-track descriptions by Crowe. It’ll be available in 2xCD and 2xLP sets as well as a digital release. The double-LP will include the bonus CD as an insert.
