NOTES
A compilation of tracks from Sonic Youth's 80s albums, released to coincide w/ DGC's reissues of those albums. Screaming Fields was first released in 1994 as a promo disc w/ a slightly different track list than the main release (including the rather out of place "T-Vox" version of "Doctor's Orders"). There may be additional versions w/ subtle changes in the track list, I'm not sure. If you have information about versions not listed here, please write! UPDATE 10/24/02: Apparently another promo version exists, w/out "Doctor's Orders". It lists the album beneath each song and says Daydream Nation was reissued 11/23/93 and the rest are forthcoming in 1994. This version's catalog # is also PRO-CD-4577, so maybe the "Doctor's Orders" version is a different #... ??
Original '94 version was briefly available thru Sonic Death (though I can't find any record of it in the 7 issues), and was also released in France as a giveaway with issue 54 of Les Inrockuptibles, March '94. APPARENTLY the version that came w/ Les Inrocktuptibles was a fourth 18-track variation, same as "Promo 2" with "Doctor's Orders" at the end.
The differences in track lists are small: the promo contains the edits of "Teenage Riot" and "Candle", the later version features the full-length LP versions. "Kissability" is dropped for the commercial version. Whitey track "MacBeth" is replaced with "G-Force" for the latter version. "Flower" and "Brother James" are added to the second version. And of course, the commercial release doesn't feature the T-Vox "Doctor's Orders".
The final version features 3 songs from Daydream Nation, 2 from The Whitey Album, 2 from Sister, 2 from EVOL, 3 from Bad Moon Rising (technically, 1 from Bad Moon Rising and 2 from the Flower/Halloween 12"), 2 from Confusion, 1 from Kill Yr Idols, and 1 from Sonic Youth.
The 1995 version coincided with the release of the "Screaming Fields of Sonic Love" video, which featured all of Sonic Youth's pre-DGC music videos and some additional live performances.
The artwork is simple but effective -- it features the same early sonic sticker reproduced infinitely (check the "Made In USA" liners for a picture of a cassette player in a car decorated with the same sticker). There are 4 pages of early gig posters along with a track listing/credits and 2 pages of mini-blurbs on the 80s albums -- I vividly recall a full-page advertisement in Spin magazine for this compilation, which featured all of these write-ups (I tore it out and put it up in my high school locker at the time). I no longer have the ad but if somebody has a copy they could scan I'd really appreciate it! I believe Green Day were on the cover...
Though featuring one track from the "Sonic Youth" album, which even has a catalog # listed in the liners, the DGC reissue of the self-titled release never happened.

Album blurbs:
1988
DAYDREAM NATION
a celebration of the sprawling wilderness that is musical America and beyond. no limits, no boundaries. the feeling of mystery. this one made them famous whether they liked it or not. named best rock band by New Musical Express and topping critics' polls in the Village Voice and Rolling Stone, this baby rocked to #1 in Britain and spawned the #1 indie-punker hit "Teen Age Riot." also features "Silver Rocket" and "Candle." cover art by Gerhard Richter. liner notes by Jutta Koether.
19??
THE WHITEY ALBUM
recorded pseudonymously as Ciccone Youth- an lp/concept co-designed with Mike Watt (Minutemen, Dos, fIREHOSE) as a hardcore/beatbox experiment with lo-fi studio gear, improv and frolic. Features "Two Cool Rock Chicks Listening To Neu," "MacBeth," "Addicted To Love" and massive euro-dance hit "Into The Groove(y)." liner notes by Mike Watt.
1987
SISTER
imagery zapping in from the philosophical minds of P.K. Dick, Sun Ra and Black Flag culminates with all that is sonic pop and holy, recorded and mixed on vacuum-tube equipment, this disc sealed Sonic Youth's fate as neo-masters of the imperfect art. features "Beauty Lies In The Eye" and the magic wand that is "Cotton Crown." Liner notes by Dennis Cooper.
1986
EVOL
this is the record on which Steve Shelley takes over for drummer Bob Bert, rotting tenement barefoot-in-the-headtrip psyche. Lung Leg as post-wave superstar, features "Shadow Of A Doubt" and the infamous sun-burnt "Expressway To Yr Skull." cover phot by R. Kern. liner notes by Lisa Carver.
1985
BAD MOON RISING
broad strokes of mesa-sound and stoogian aethos. this recording begins the trans-global sonic life(style). as if don cherry collected misfits. features "Death Valley '69" with love's tormentrix Lydia Lunch -- the first HIT. cover photo by James Welling. liner notes by Gerard Cosloy.
1983
CONFUSION IS SEX
out of the gallery and into the mosh pit. what started out as a cheapo single idea turned into the first full length killer. way away from the generic buzz of the day, this lp opened doors still and forever unhinged and blown. further havoc is wreaked by the inclusion of the super-rare KILL YR IDOLS ep. features the timeless "Lee Is Free." cover art by Kim G. liner notes by Greil Marcus.
just ask yr local grocer.
