Deep six
Deep six is an American slang term that means, when used as a verb (as in "to deep-six"), to ignore, get rid of, toss out, or throw overboard. It is a reference to the approximate depth of six fathoms (11 meters), the minimum legal death needed for a burial at sea. It may also refer to six feet for a grave.

Deep Six (album)
The Deep Six compilation was released March 1986 (catalog# CZ001). It was the very first release by C/Z Records, a few months before the release of "Sub Pop 100" from Sub Pop Records. It was also arguably the first record to influence the later "Seattle sound" that would be known worldwide as grunge. The album was reissued as a joint C/Z Records/A&M Records release on April 6 1994 (catalog # 6971 2400 2)
