It's long overdue two classic albums be introduced to the digital music market.

Much to my dismay, Sub Pop Records' 1989 compilation Sub Pop 200 is not available for purchase on iTunes or Apple Music, and the label's own Cat Butt and their sole album Journey to the Center Of (or seven inch single 64 Funny Cars b/w Hell's Half Acre) being available for purchase or stream on any major service, despite a decent-sized fanbase.

Both of these albums are important and should be treated by the label just as highly as landmark releases like Nirvana's Bleach and Soundgarden's Screaming Life, which means the remaster and digital release treatment. Knowledgeable fans and new listeners alike deserve to listen to Sub Pop 200 and Journey to the Center Of in hi-fi, digital form, preserved for eternity, without having to resort to vinyl records, which aren't portable like smartphones.

Sub Pop 200 is a historic triple-album featuring the first, or otherwise early releases, by popular time period bands from Sub Pop's home of Seattle, including but not limited to Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, and Tad. It also contains hidden gems from lesser known bands like Cat Butt, The Walkabouts, Girl Trouble, and The Thrown Ups. The world deserves to hear these early works by iconic bands, and underrated tracks worth every listener's time.

Journey to the Center Of is the only LP record released by area band Cat Butt, who were effectively erased from existence by Sub Pop and live on through the internet. It's a classic lost to time, and much more influential than we've been led to believe. It's time for this record to be remastered and reissued with unheard outtakes and more, as Cat Butt band members have pined for.

So, what do you say, how about bringing these excellent albums to services such as iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play Music, etc.?

I believe this is what the fans deserve.
