Either that, or you're just wrong and other people are trying to point out the bad information.
Soundgarden put out one album on SST, while at Sub Pop, they put out one of the label's very first singles "Hunted Down", very firt e.p.s "Screaming Life" (which was later used as the title of Charles Peterson's book about the Sub Pop days!), and as already mentioned, wrote a song called "Sub Pop Rock City" that was on the Sub Pop 200 comp. They were on Sub Pop and associated with the people there for a number of years, going back to when they played the Ditto tavern in Seattle with Skin Yard on weeknights. While at SST they put out one record right as they got signed to the majors, and were "involved" with the label for less than a year.
Ultramega OK is just o.k. , while all of Soundgarden's best work was on Sub Pop, by the time they moved to the majors, they were Spinal Tap, and knew it to the point of playing "Big Bottom" live.
