  • In January 1989, Peel wrote a piece for The Observer (later republished in the Olivetti Chronicles) on the phenomenon of the Seattle sound coming from the Sub Pop label: "In the past eighteen months the name of Seattle has popped up whenever two or three have gathered together to speak of non-chart pop - and as often as these folk have said 'Seattle' they have said 'Sub Pop'. " In a 2014 interview, Sub Pop founder Bruce Pavitt recalled the importance of the Peel article, following the DJ's support for the 'Sub Pop 200' compilation:
  • Sub Pop foi fundada por Bruce Pavitt en Olympia, Washington en 1979 como un fanzine chamado Subterranean Pop. Inspirado polo fanzine Fast Forward, Sub Pop comezou a alternar as súas publicacións con cassettes recopilatorios de bandas estadounidenses (aínda que tamén apareceron varias bandas estranxeiras). Houbo nove publicacións de Sub Pop en total: seis fanzines e tres cassettes (números 5, 7, e 9). Despois do número 9, Sub Pop cambiou a un formato só de cassette, pero o proxecto foi abandonado pola cantidade de traballo que requería para continuar. Continuou como unha columna no xornal de Seattle The Rocket durante anos.

  • In January 1989, Peel wrote a piece for The Observer (later republished in the Olivetti Chronicles) on the phenomenon of the Seattle sound coming from the Sub Pop label: "In the past eighteen months the name of Seattle has popped up whenever two or three have gathered together to speak of non-chart pop - and as often as these folk have said 'Seattle' they have said 'Sub Pop'. " In a 2014 interview, Sub Pop founder Bruce Pavitt recalled the importance of the Peel article, following the DJ's support for the 'Sub Pop 200' compilation: "The real payoff for that was John Peel writing a review in the London Observer in February of ’89, in which he states that Sub Pop ‘had the most distinctive regional sounds since Tamla Motown’. That is a statement. That is a huge endorsement by possibly the most influential person in alternative music on the planet."[1] According to Pavitt, the success of Sub Pop in the UK was vital in winning wider recognition for the label and its bands, with Peel viewed as a key element: "We had support from John Peel, so England was everything. It allowed us to get out of the indie-rock ghetto in America and actually get some somewhat mainstream attention in England. And of course that reverberated around Europe and the US and so forth."[2] After Nirvana moved to Geffen Records in 1991, Sub Pop benefited financially from the huge success of 'Nevermind', despite losing other top bands to the majors. In 1997, Peel selected the record as one of his Top 20 Albums in a list for The Guardian newspaper. In March 1994, Sub Pop allowed Peel and his son William to choose session tracks by artists on the label for a compilation album called 'The John Peel Sub-Pop Sessions'. A short clip of Peel speaking on the phone kicks off the collection.[3] Peel continued supporting artists from Sub Pop even after the end of the Seattle alternative rock scene that the label created, following the suicide of Kurt Cobain of Nirvana in April 1994.
  • Sub Pop foi fundada por Bruce Pavitt en Olympia, Washington en 1979 como un fanzine chamado Subterranean Pop. Inspirado polo fanzine Fast Forward, Sub Pop comezou a alternar as súas publicacións con cassettes recopilatorios de bandas estadounidenses (aínda que tamén apareceron varias bandas estranxeiras). Houbo nove publicacións de Sub Pop en total: seis fanzines e tres cassettes (números 5, 7, e 9). Despois do número 9, Sub Pop cambiou a un formato só de cassette, pero o proxecto foi abandonado pola cantidade de traballo que requería para continuar. Continuou como unha columna no xornal de Seattle The Rocket durante anos. En 1986, Pavitt mudouse a Seattle e editou o primeiro LP da Sub Pop, o recopilatorio Sub Pop 100. En 1987, Sub Pop editou o EP Dry as a Bone de Green River, e pouco despois, ese mesmo ano, Pavitt coñeceu a Jonathan Poneman. Kim Thayil de Soundgarden presentoulle a Pavitt a Jonathan Poneman e os dous decidiron formar un selo discográfico en 1986. Despois de que varias bandas da escena local asinasen polo selo, Pavitt e Poneman traballaron para popularizar a música que fixo famoso o seu selo. O seu primeiro paso foi o Sub Pop Singles Club, un servizo de subscripción que permitíu aos seus subscriptores recibir sinxelos de bandas locais mensualmente por correo. Isto permitíulle á Sub Pop converterse nunha compañía forte na escena local, e o seu nome era sinónimo da música da area de Seattle, do mesmo xeito que a Motown Records o era de Detroit. A súa primeira edición do Singles Club foi o sinxelo de Nirvana Love Buzz/Big Cheese, en novembro de 1988. O Singles Club rematou cinco anos despois e relanzouse en 1998 durando ata 2002. Para aumentar a popularidade do grunge, Pavitt e Poneman trouxeron a un xornalista da revista británica Melody Maker para escribir un artigo da escena musical local. Aínda que a Sub Pop foi importante na popularización do grunge, algúns fans criticaron a Pavitt e a Poneman polas súas accións. Eses fans sentían que o seu rol na popularización do grunge estaba motivada máis por avaricia que por amor á música. Despois de que moitas exitosas bandas de grunge deixasen a Sub Pop tras asinar con grandes discográficas formouse unha empresa conxunta coa Warner.. En 1996, Bruce Pavitt deixou o selo debido a que necesitaba máis tempo para a súa familia.
