Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles is a compilation album by the grunge band Mudhoney. The album contains the entire Superfuzz Bigmuff EP, the A-sides and B-sides of 2 singles, and 2 covers from split singles with Sonic Youth and The Dicks. It was released by Sub Pop Records in October 1990. The album is named after the Big Muff Pi and the Super Fuzz distortion pedals made by Electro-Harmonix and Univox respectively, which gave the band their signature dirty sound.

• "Touch Me I'm Sick" was Mudhoney's first single, and also the first single ever released by Sub Pop; "Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More" was the B-side.
• "You Got It (Keep It Outta My Face)" was released as a single in 1989; "Burn It Clean" was the B-side.
• "Hate the Police" is a cover of a song by The Dicks.
• "Halloween" is a cover of a Sonic Youth song, originally recorded for the split single between the two bands, on which Sonic Youth played "Touch Me I'm Sick."
• The last 6 tracks on the album are from Mudhoney's debut EP Superfuzz Bigmuff.
