El sello británico Soul Jazz Records no es tan solo uno de los que más, mejor y más sostenible reputación han adquirido en su ya más de una década de trabajo, es también uno de los ejemplos a seguir en el panorama editorial por su refinado gusto a la hora de plantear sus iniciativas y sus dotes para explorar casi cualquier escena o genérica musical. Rumba catalana, Country/Funk, no wave, Ballroom contemporáneo o Punk: nada escapa a su objetivo. Próximamente será el Grunge, un estilo muy poco presente en su catálogo, el que tomará el protagonismo:

"No Seattle: Forgotten Sounds Of The North-West Grunge Era 1986-97" intentará re-descubrir algunas de las bandas y proyectos de la zona Noroeste en Estados Unidos que, de alguna manera, quedaron eclipsados por la importancia de la escena primitiva en Seattle y la aparición de bandas como Nirvana:

"The underground music scene of the North-west of America arose from the early 1980s, strung out in isolated towns across the vast state of Washington. In its early days bands who showed an allegiance to their roots of punk. Yet, by 1991,Nirvana, the biggest band in the world, had been born from this community of outsiders. This compilation features some of the many divergent bands who emerged out of the North-west during this era. Intensely researched and documented this album features many bands who have now disappeared from history after releasing maybe just a couple of singles, or an album, or even never making it onto vinyl – alongside some bands that continue to this day.

Perhaps most fascinating is the wide-ranging styles that these grunge bands  incorporated - from punk to metal, experimental and more. All Roads lead to Nirvana: 17 of the bands featured here played alongside Nirvana in the period 1987-93. All 23 bands featured feature members who shared a stage with Nirvana. Jack Endino (The Ones) produced 37 Nirvana songs. Dave Foster (Helltrout) was Nirvana's 3rd drummer. Bundle of Hiss became TAD who played more gigs with Nirvana than any other band".

Serán 28 cortes en total, dispuestos en un doble CD y una doble edición en formato 2XLP.
