Loudest Love is an EP by the American rock band Soundgarden. It was released in Japan in September 1990 through A&M Records.
Overview The track listing is based on the "Loud Love" U.K. vinyl single, with the addition of "Hands All Over", "Heretic" and "Come Together". AllMusic staff writer Greg Prato said, "The Loudest Love compilation is quite a find for hardcore fans of Soundgarden, but if you're a newcomer, start off with their 1997 best-of collection, A-Sides, or one of their official albums."
Despite bassist Jason Everman only performing on one track of the EP, that being the only song he ever recorded with the band, he is featured on the EP's cover. Bass for the other tracks was performed by Hiro Yamamoto, who had left Soundgarden and been replaced by Everman by the time of Loudest Love'''s release.
