Loudest Love
Japanese EP based on the "Loud Love" U.K. single.
Loudest Love, a 1990 EP by the American rock band Soundgarden, came out in Japan that September on A&M Records. Its songs come from the "Loud Love" U.K. vinyl single, plus "Hands All Over," "Heretic," and "Come Together." Music critic Greg Prato noted that while dedicated fans will treasure this collection, newcomers should begin with the 1997 best-of album A-Sides or any official studio release. Although bassist Jason Everman appears on the cover, he only plays on one track—the sole song he ever recorded with the band. The rest of the bass parts were handled by Hiro Yamamoto, who had already left Soundgarden and been replaced by Everman by the time this EP came out.
