Soundgarden - Hands all Over 7" Australian Import - Signed by guitarist Kim Thayil
Side A: Hands All Over Side B: Big Bottom - live (Cover version of the Spinal Tap song)
I purchased this from a record store in the UK in 1991. It has never been played.
In 1992 Soundgarden were touring the UK and I was a student, working for our university magazine. I was writing reviews of gigs and also interviewing bands. I managed to get an interview with Soundgarden on the morning before they played in Birmingham. I went to the Hyatt Hotel and was hoping I'd talk to Chris Cornell. Unfortunately, I didn't, but I did get to speak to Kim Thayil who was really cool and very friendly. When the interview was over, I sheepishly asked him if he would sign my record. He hadn't seen this edition so was pretty interested in it. In the photos, you'll see the piece I wrote for our student magazine.
