'''''Screaming Life/Fopp''''' is a [[compilation album]] by the American [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Soundgarden]] that combines their debut [[Extended play|EP]]s in their entirety into a single release. It was originally released on May 11, 1990, through [[Sub Pop]] Records. Sub Pop later remastered and reissued the album on November 24, 2013.

==Overview==
The album combines the band's first two studio EPs: ''[[Screaming Life]]'' (1987) and ''[[Fopp (EP)|Fopp]]'' (1988). It was released in 1990 by [[Sub Pop]] despite having been recorded in 1987-88, after Soundgarden's two subsequent full-length releases, ''[[Ultramega OK]]'' (1988) and ''[[Louder than Love]]'' (1989), had gained them considerable popularity. There are two [[cover version|cover]] songs on the album; "[[Swallow My Pride]]" is a [[Green River (band)|Green River]] cover and "Fopp" is an [[Ohio Players]] cover.

The 2013 re-issue contains an extra track, "Sub Pop Rock City", that is not present on the original release. "Sub Pop Rock City" was a track recorded during the same pre-''Ultramega OK'' era but previously only available on the ''[[Sub Pop 200]]'' compilation.

''[[PopMatters]]'' journalist J.C. Maçek III reviewed the 2013 remastered version of the album and said, "As for the 'remastering' aspect, to be sure, the album sounds as good as it ever has, especially to those of us who memorized every note by way of audio cassettes. However, the new version doesn't sound markedly different from the previous release on CD, mostly because the songs were recorded tough and rough in the first place."<ref name=PM/>
