Last fall, Screaming Trees released Wrong Turn at Jahannam: Live at Egg Studio 1991 as a Record Store Black Friday exclusive title. We’ve now got an exclusive new pressing of the album on opaque yellow vinyl that’s limited to 500 copies. You can order it now.
Wrong Turn at Jahannam captures the band during a happy accident. Gearing up for their tour of their just-released major label debut, Uncle Anesthesia, frontman Mark Lanegan and guitarist Gary Lee Conner had just welcomed back bassist and Gary’s brother Van Conner, who had left the Trees in 1988 and had been playing in Dinosaur Jr, along with drummer Dan Peters who was on loan from Mudhoney. They were officially at Seattle’s Egg Studio to record b-sides but, feeling the vibe, Lanegan suggested they run through their whole set and record it, including songs from the then-new Uncle Anesthesia, as well as plenty from their years on SST Records. You can check out the tracklist and a mock-up of our pressing below.
