Cameron Crowe’s grunge-era film Singles celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, Epic Soundtrax/Legacy Recordings are reissuing its soundtrack, which features songs by Pearl Jam, Paul Westerberg, Smashing Pumpkins, and others. The new deluxe edition reissue is out May 19, and is available as a 2xLP, 2xCD, and digitally. In addition to the original 13-song soundtrack, the physical editions include bonus material, such as unreleased recordings by Chris Cornell, Mike McCready, Mudhoney, Paul Westerberg, and more. There’s also “Touch Me I’m Dick”—the track performed in the film by Matt Dillon’s fictional band Citizen Dick, which featured Pearl Jam members Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, and Jeff Ament. See the full tracklist below.
The reissue comes with new liner notes and track-by-track descriptions by Cameron Crowe. In a press release, he said, “The album itself was always designed to be sort of an anti-soundtrack, more like a souvenir and a simple mix-tape of some of Seattle’s finest. It really is and was a tribute to those hard-working bands that welcomed me to their city with open arms, and the music so many still love so much.”
