Green Mind

Formed in 1984,
Dinosaur Jr carved a singular path through the latter half of the 1980s, issuing three highly influential albums in the process before finding a home with Sire Records, who issued ”Green Mind” in 1991 as the alternative American rock scene the band had long been part of exploded globally. Produced by a stripped down line-up of the group (in fact, J Mascis himself plays almost everything), the album and Sire’s international reach took Dinosaur Jr’s reputation to a new level, aided by the singles ”The Wagon” and ”Whatever’s Cool With Me”, a non-album EP of new material and live recordings, all of which are included here.
Critically lauded on release, ”Green Mind” remains one of the band’s strongest collections, and a firm fan favorite. Collected together here for the first time with related singles, B-sides and live recordings, and accompanied by in-depth sleeve notes from Mojo’s Keith Cameron (based on recent and exclusive interviews with J Mascis), this edition provides a thorough snapshot of the band at a period when all eyes were on American guitar groups, many of whom owed their existence to Dinosaur Jr.
