In May 2014, three decades after the Jesus and Mary Chain first appeared on the scene in an explosion of noise, leather and attitude, it was announced that the Mary Chain, one of the most turbulent groups in pop history, would be performing their classic debut album Psychocandy live in its entirety for the first time to celebrate its thirtieth anniversary. By November 2014, the first Psychocandy shows were underway. They were both deafening and blinding, sound and light practically being used as weapons against the mesmerised crowd, and as the smoke unfurled and great tides of feedback rose and crashed everyone present surrendered to it all over again. This Deluxe package is a true collector's item chronicling the bands homecoming gig at Glasgow's legendary Barrowlands Ballroom, celebrating the tour that has propelled the band across the globe into the hearts and minds of faithful worldwide. Within the 40-page hardback book package you'll find the LP of the Pyschocandy performance cut to 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl by engineer Noel Summerville as well as the 7-track prelude set containing key singles and fan favourites including 'April Skies', 'Head On' and 'the monstrous 'Reverence' cut to a bespoke 10" entirely exclusive to the package. Also included is a CD of the entire performance, a candid interview with Brothers Jim & William Reid as well as Alan McGee about the Anniversary Tour and the future, and pages of unseen photography from behind the scenes.

The Jesus and Mary Chain are a Scottish alternative rock band formed in East Kilbride in 1983. The band revolves around the songwriting partnership of brothers Jim and William Reid. After signing to independent label Creation Records, they released their first single "Upside Down" in 1984.

Damage and Joy is the seventh studio album released by The Jesus and Mary Chain, planned for release on March 25, 2017. It is the group's first album in eighteen years, and marks the group's first collaboration with producer Youth.

The fourth full length release from Scottish brothers Jim &William Reid's post-modern group. No longer available in theU.S., the 1989 album was their most commercially ambitiouseffort in which they buffed their trademark feedback to aglossy sonic sheen that sounded much like their backing bandwas actually ZZ Top (during that band's high octane years of1983-1985). 12 tracks, including the singles 'Blues From AGun' & their original version of 'Head On' (later coverd bythe Pixies), plus gems like 'Coast To Coast', 'BetweenPlanets' and 'UV Ray'. A Blanco Y Negro Records release.

1988 collection of B-sides, outtakes & rarities by Scottishbrothers Jim & William Reid's feedback-loving post-moderngroup. No longer available in the U.S., 'Barbed Wire Kisses(B-Sides And More)' contains 20 tracks, including thesingles 'Sidewalking' & their cover of 'Surfin' USA', plusthe anti-surf theme 'Kill Surf City'. The full title is'Barbed Wire Kisses (B-Sides And More)'. A Blanco Y NegroRecords release.

Feeling no doubt burdened by the various claims of being the new Sex Pistols, and likely fed up with accusations that the walls of feedback were their own trick, the Reid brothers underwent a bit of a rethink with Darklands. The end result must have fallen squarely between two camps -- hardly eligible for sunny commercial airplay, not quite as flailing as the earliest efforts -- but, from a distance, this is an appealing, enjoyable record. Songs were often longer while the album itself was shorter than Psychocandy, walls of sound were often stripped away in favor of calmer classic rock twang and groove, while William Reid took the lead vocal at points, showing he had a slightly sweeter, wistful tone in comparison to his brother. However, the changes on Darklands can be overstated -- the basic formula at the heart of the band (inspired plagiarism of melodies and lyrics alike, plenty of reverb, etc.) stayed pretty much the same, even if the mixes were cleaned up -- compare "Down on Me" to any Psychocandy cut for a good example of the difference. The use of drum machines in place of Bobby Gillespie's rumble tended to enforce the newer focus, but at the album's best, such a seeming dichotomy didn't cause too much worry. "April Skies" made for a great single, while the soaring-in-spite-of-itself "Happy When It Rains" was another winner, one that Garbage more or less made its own some years later for its own similarly titled hit. William's singing turns made for other highlights as well, notably "Nine Million Rainy Days," the overt misery of the title suiting the dark crawl of the song, and the lengthy lament "On the Wall." Darklands is no Psychocandy in the end -- nothing the band released later ever was -- but it's still a good listen.
