The publisher on this edition

Usually when the alternative rock revolution'' of the early 1990s is discussed, Nirvana''s Nevermind is credited as the recording that led the charge. Yet there were several earlier albums that helped pave the way, including the Pixies'' Doolittle, the Red Hot Chili Peppers'' Mother''s Milk, Jane''s Addiction''s Nothing''s Shocking and especially Primus'' 1991 album Sailing the Seas of Cheese. This fascinating and beautifully curated oral history tells the tale of this truly one-of-a-kind band that merged funk, punk, rock and experimental music, with Les Claypool''s distinctive humour.''
