Product Description
CD Description
* Since Psychocandy was first released in November 1985, the Jesus And Mary Chain's debut album has received a massive amount of critical acclaim and is now widely regarded as a classic. Regularly featured in articles on classic albums, it has recently appeared on the NME’s list of the Top 50 Greatest Debut Albums Ever and Q Magazine’s list of the 100 Greatest British Albums, and continues to exert a considerable influence on contemporary bands. * This deluxe expanded edition features all the non-album b-sides, as well as previously unreleased demos, rare outtakes including controversial early track “Jesus Fuck” which the pressing plant refused to manufacture at the time due to the blasphemous lyrics – it is heard here for the first time, the complete BBC Radio Sessions the band recorded for John Peel in this period (including their legendary 1985 acoustic session) and the seminal debut single “Upside Down”, the release that put the nascent Creation Records on the map and immortalised in the recent documentary film of the same name. * The DVD features the promo videos for the singles released from the album alongside seminal and previously unreleased TV appearances, including their jaw-dropping live TV debut on the Old Grey Whistle Test, a performance of two songs on The Tube, a studio performance and interview from Belgian TV, and never before seen footage of the infamous riot at North London Polytechnic – this includes excerpts of the band’s performance on the night, highly entertaining interviews with all four original members, and scenes of the crowd destroying the venue! * The 32 page booklet contains exclusive new interviews that tell the band’s story in their own words, including an extensive contribution from Psychocandy-era drummer Bobby Gillespie, who went onto fame as frontman of Primal Scream, and the first ever interview with elusive first drummer Murray Dalglish, along with rare memorabilia and previously unpublished photos.

The Jesus and Mary Chain offered the only significant respite to the terminal state of popular music in the 1980s and almost single handedly brought a resurgence to the whole dire scene. While the Smiths were wailing on the moor tops, people who liked the JAMC wanted to hear the sound of breaking glass to the revving of motorcycle engines . For a variety of reasons including an increasingly self absorbed music press it never really happened for them (whatever "it" is) and all the glorious melody, gleeful abandon, anarchy, threat and reworking of those rich primal seams of rock n' roll were only to be enjoyed by a relative few at the time. Hugely undervalued and underrated all albums are superb - the worst of the Mary Chain was always miles better than the best of everyone else. What was the Orson Welles quote about starting at the top and working his way down after Citizen Kane? This 3 disc set bristles with an excitement that the corporate music industry cannot manufacture and with career spanning appearances on The Old Grey Whistle Test, Top Of The Pops to Jools Holland they really looked looked like they meant it. If this album put some fire into your adolescence - buy it for your children before they start pestering you for the Smiths box set.

utter classic. file next to velvet underground and nico,Raw power,never mind the bollocks,etc. For some its hard to get into at first but worth perciverance. i played this to death at the time and still love it. this album is one of the best ever made. a wonderful noise indeed. the extras are good but i still love it in it's vinyl form, perfection is hard to improve on. it kicks ass and has influence every decent band since it's release, make no mistake you can not go wrong this record is probably one of the best ever.

Memories came flooding back - the music and the experience of the early gigs. If you're a fan, you've probably got most of this in different places, but it's great to have decent copies of it all. I thoroughly recommend this, the J&MC's finest hours.
