Prior to the invitation to join Green River, Gossard, Turner, and Vincent attended Northwest School together. They debuted a single called Dry as Bone in through Sub-Pop in 1987. They released a full-length album called Rehab Doll quite after the success of Dry as Bone. After the single was released, Green River was disbanded in 1987. According to Ned Raggett of Allmusic, their album was "a record that sounded caught somewhere between grunge mania and metal/corp rock folly".
