The Seeker of Good Songs
Well-Known Member
[FONT=Georgia, Times]SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE September 30, 2008[/FONT]
One of the most important U.K. bands of the last 25 years, Jesus And Mary Chain formed in East Kilbride, Scotland in 1983. They created a new intersection of noise and pop, draping curtains of guitar distortion over melodies worthy of The Ronettes or The Beach Boys.
4-CD boxed set presents 81 rarities, including 8 previously unreleased tracks. Spanning 1983-1998, selections are arranged chronologically.
Opens with the previously unreleased Up Too High, a Darklands-esque rarity recorded on cassette in 1983, and closes with Nineteen666 from their late '90s Sub Pop era. Other previously unissued gems include an alternate version of Never Understand, demos of My Little Underground and The Living End and the unheard song Walk And Crawl (all from the Psychocandy era) as well as three Stoned And Dethroned-era discoveries including the lost song Till I Found You.
Highlights also include their 1984 debut Creation single (Upside Down b/w Vegetable Man), an acoustic version of Teenage Lust, Bo Diddley Is Jesus, and much more.
Deluxe box packaged in a 6" x 10" gatefold shell. Booklet features new interviews with Jim and William Reid, rare photos, and an 18" x 24" double-sided poster featuring a hand-drawn JAMC "family tree."
