Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band formed in 1981 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They are best known for their Grammy-winning 1993 hit "Runaway Train". Originally called [a1422017], the band consisted of Dave Pirner, Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Pat Morley. In 1983, they changed their name to Soul Asylum and replaced Morley with Grant Young in 1984.
The band initially struggled commercially, recording three albums with Twin/Tone Records and two with A&M Records without much success. However, everything changed in 1992 when they released the triple-platinum album Grave Dancers Union which featured the iconic song "Runaway Train". The following year, Soul Asylum had the honor of performing at President Bill Clinton's inauguration.
Three years later, they achieved another platinum record with the album Let Your Dim Light Shine. With a unique blend of alternative rock sound and powerful lyrics, Soul Asylum continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their timeless music.

Real Gone Music is a U.S. reissue label that was established in 2011 by two individuals who previously founded other successful labels. With a focus on reissuing music from various genres, Real Gone Music aims to bring back classic and hard-to-find albums for music enthusiasts. They have gained a reputation for their high-quality releases and attention to detail, ensuring that the original branded label is included if shown on the release. Please note that there is an unofficial entity pretending to be Real Gone Music, so be sure to look out for the authentic label when making your purchases. Also, it's important not to confuse Real Gone Music with the UK/Europe based budget reissue label that issues multi-disc box sets in different genres and series.

The follow-up to Soul Asylum's 1992 breakthrough album Grave Dancers Union fell victim to heightened expectations, but, contrary to the majority of criticism in the alternative music press, this was no major label sell-out. While it was true that Let Your Dim Light Shine boasted such radio-friendly tunes as the single “Misery” (you know you've made it when Weird Al Yankovic covers one of your songs!) and the electro-acoustic ballad “Promises Broken,” the commercial success of Grave Dancers Union allowed songwriter Dave Pirner the freedom to expand the stylistic reach of the band and even sneak in some genuinely experimental tracks, like “Caged Rat.” Being a mid-‘90s release, this album was available on vinyl for only a heartbeat; this Real Gone reissue features the original jacket and inner sleeve art, and comes in a coke clear with blue swirl vinyl edition limited to 700 copies! Co-produced by Butch Vig of Nevermind fame.
