Green River is a Seattle-based band that was formed in 1984. The band took their name from the notorious serial killer who haunted the area at that time. Lead vocalist/guitarist Mark Arm and guitarist Steve Turner had previously played together in local hardcore bands, while drummer Alex Vincent came from Spluii Numa and bassist Jeff Ament from Deranged Diction.

In late 1984, second guitarist Stone Gossard - Turner's former bandmate in the Ducky Boys - joined Green River, allowing Arm to focus solely on singing. After the release of their album "Come On Down," Steve Turner left the band and was replaced by Bruce Fairweather.

Green River also gave rise to other influential bands. Mark Arm and Steve Turner went on to form Mudhoney, while Bruce Fairweather, Stone Gossard, and Jeff Ament joined Mother Love Bone. Following Andrew Wood's death, Stone and Jeff formed Pearl Jam.

After a reunion in 2008, Green River has performed several live shows since then. Their music is often associated with other notable artists such as Skin Yard, Tad, Malfunkshun, Love Battery, Mother Love Bone, Mad Season, Screaming Trees, Gruntruck, Mudhoney,and Temple Of The Dog.

Jackpot Records, started in 2004, operates as a reissue label featuring albums and bands that have been seminal within their respective genres as well as interesting new releases of various genres. Care is paid to giving each album the most authentic and true-to-form representation, with all recordings taken from the original master tapes whenever possible.

Jackpot Records began in 1997 in Portland, Oregon as an independent retailer set on getting music into the hands and ears of the people who love it. Opened by owner Isaac Slusarenko, Jackpot Records was founded on the idea that the music matters, offering a wide selection of both new and used CDs, LPs, DVDs and other collectibles. In 2001, a second location was opened in downtown Portland.

Jackpot Records enjoys giving back to the community that supports it by offering free, all ages in-store performances, signings and meet-n-greets, as well as an annual film festival that centers on music-related cinema.

One of the first Grunge Records ever released. Sourced from the original 1985 Master Tapes. Includes Unreleased Bonus Track. Mark Arm &amp; Steve Turner of Mudhoney, Jeff Ament &amp; Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam. Features Studio Master Tape Box image w/ lyrics.

Released in 1985, Green River's Come On Down was a record existing in its sonic universe out of step with its own time. Was it glam? Was it punk? Was it metal? Was it cool? We now know it was one of the building blocks of what Mark Arm would coin as "grunge" but in 1985 this record was a silent groundbreaker. It was not only the raw, sludgy, slower guitar sound that makes this band important in its place in rock history, but the members of Green River would go on to lead some of the biggest names in the genre: Mudhoney and Mother Love Bone, the latter of which also contained the roots of Pearl Jam.

The record includes the iconic original cover artwork, now pressed on black vinyl, and includes a printed inner sleeve with lyrics and photo of the original master tape box, plus an unreleased rare bonus track!
