Deluxe two CD edition includes bonus CD that includes previously unreleased and rare recordings. 2016 release, a newly remixed version of the classic 1991 album by the grunge/hard rock supergroup. Temple of the Dog is the only studio album by Temple of the Dog. The album is a tribute to Andrew Wood, the former lead singer of Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone, who died on March 19, 1990 of a heroin overdose. The album has been certified platinum by the RIAA in the United States. Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who had been Mother Love Bone vocalist Andrew Wood's roommate, approached former Mother Love Bone members Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament about working on material he had written when he was on tour with Soundgarden in Europe. The line-up eventually included Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron and newcomers Mike McCready (lead guitar) and Eddie Vedder (background vocals). McCready and Vedder were featured on the album due to their involvement with Ament and Gossard's next project, which became Pearl Jam. The name Temple of the Dog is derived from the opening lyrics of the Mother Love Bone song "Man of Golden Words", "I want to show you something, like joy inside my heart, seems I been living in the temple of the dog".

“One of the great albums to come out of Seattle in the early 90s. It has never sounded better. The second disc is your typical add ons of demos and outtakes that are interesting to hear (especially Black Cat, would love to hear full studio version) but the real deal here is the original album and remix disc. The production sounds crisp and clear and surprisingly full for something that was recorded very quickly without much time or thought put into miking or capturing perfect performances. If you're a fan of the original album or just PJ or Soundgarden/Cornell you can't go wrong picking this up. RIP Andrew Wood.”
