On November 4th, Stardog Records will release Mother Love Bone: On Earth As It Is, a reissue set of the complete works from Seattle rock band and pre-cursor to Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone (Andrew Wood, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Bruce Fairweather and Greg Gilmore). It will be available in both a vinyl and CD/DVD set.

Both packages are now available for presale here. Limited quantities are available. (Full details on both packages below).

The vinyl and CD/DVD sets are packaged in slipcase artwork replicating a legendary Mother Love Bone mural that graced the exterior wall of famed Seattle nightclub, The Vogue. The wall mural was re-painted by Jeff Ament on the side of West Seattle’s Easy Street Records in May of 2016.

A digital version of the audio from the 3 CD set is also available for preorder on iTunes now.

ABOUT MOTHER LOVE BONE
Mother Love Bone was established in 1988 by ex-Green River members Jeff Ament, Bruce Fairweather and Stone Gossard, ex-Malfunkshun frontman Andrew Wood and ex-Ten Minute Warning and Skin Yard drummer Greg Gilmore. Frontman Andrew Wood’s personality and compositions helped to catapult the group to the top of the burgeoning late 1980s/early 1990s Seattle music scene. Wood died tragically only days before the scheduled release of the band’s debut album, Apple. The album was finally released a few months later.

ABOUT STARDOG RECORDS
Stardog Records was created by PolyGram Records in 1989 exclusively an imprint for Seattle glam-rock act Mother Love Bone and the group’s releases with subsidiary Mercury Records. The label’s name is a nod to the Mother Love Bone song “Stardog Champion.”

In partnership with Republic Records, Stardog Records was revitalized in 2016. Picking up where history left off, Stardog will release Mother Love Bone: On Earth As It Is along with the debut release from Reignwolf.
