Eight Songs for Greg Sage and the Wipers

1

Eight Songs for Greg Sage and the Wipers is a Wipers tribute album released on Tim/Kerr in 1992. The album was first released as a box set of 4 colored 7-inch records in a run of 10,000. It helped to raise the profile of the independent label. Nirvana recorded their cover of "Return of the Rat" after Geffen had reservations about including the band's cover of "D-7". Hole recorded a cover of "Over the Edge". Fourteen Songs for Greg Sage and the Wipers is the CD re-release of the album, expanded to include additional artist covers.

Critical reception

Phoenix New Times praised "Up Front", calling it a "killer cut ... and a real firebomb of pure punk." Vulture listed "Return of the Rat" as Nirvana's 55th best song (out of 72), writing: "Furious and loose, this is an incredibly faithful take on Sage’s version with just a little bit of its desperate, quivering edge lost in the process."
