Sub-Pop 100 (1986)

Sub-Pop Records was started by Bruce Pavitt in Olympia, WA. in 1980 as a fanzine called Subterranean Pop (shortened to Sub-Pop after the first issue). Inspired by the cassette fanzine Fast Forward, Sub-Pop began alternating issues with compilation tapes of underground rock bands. There were nine issues of Sub-Pop in all: six magazines and three cassettes (the fifth, seventh, and ninth issues). In 1983, Pavitt moved to Seattle, WA. where Sub-Pop continued life as both a column in the Seattle newspaper, The Rocket, as well as an independent-label specialty show on KCMU.

In 1986, Pavitt released the first
Sub Pop LP: the compilation Sub Pop 100.
