ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 03/14/1995
VARIANT: Black Vinyl 2LP

Seattle supergroup Mad Seasons lone full-length cast a different kind of magic than its bandmembers full-time gigs. While comprising members of Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees, Above has a tendency to swirl towards hypnagogic, chill-mode expressions of Hendrix-ian blues-rock. Rather than a moody wail, Layne Staleys vocals on signature single River of Deceit stream with subtle, harmonious nuance. This expanded 30th anniversary comes remastered and includes three bonus tracks.

The packaging has been restored to the 95 artwork with original cover, inside gatefold, back photo, and center labels. Weve included a new 20-page 12×12 booklet embossed with the same illustration as album cover with new liner notes from McCready and Martin, additional photos, and song lyrics.

Audio has been recently mastered for vinyl and Lacquers were cut by Levi Seitz. In addition to the original 10 tracks this includes three with Mark Lanegan on vocals and a cover of John Lennons I Dont Want To Be a Soldier with Layne singing.

Mike McCready: Playing with Baker, Barrett, Layne, and Mark was a privilege I will always cherish. As Above is re-released, I hope you enjoy it. I remain grateful for the opportunity to share that time, that music, and those memories with all of you.
