Jack Endino on Green River 1984 Demos
Jack Endino has the following to say about Green River's 1984 Demos:

They're calling this paleo-Green River record '1984 demos,' but it is really Green River album number zero. This is the original Green River lineup of Mark Arm on vocals and Steve Turner on guitar (both later of Mudhoney), Jeff Ament on bass (later of Pearl Jam), and Alex Vincent on drums, no other guitarists, recorded an album's worth of 8-tracks in 1984. It wasn't my session, but I ended up with the reel, and finally got the okay to mix it down last summer. It sounds a lot more like a scrappy glam-punk version of Mudhoney than it does like the later Green River records. I think it has strong Alice Cooper (circa Killers) and Black Flag influences. Steve Turner left the band right after this.

Wednesday, March 16
Tourbook Update

Added 7/16/88, and updated the dates for 10/25/88 through 10/30/88 from 10/??/88 in the Tourbook, and added the support act for 10/26/88. (Thanks to Dean B. for 10/26/88, which this is all based on)
