The Jesus And Mary Chain – Barbed Wire Kisses (B-Sides And More)

The original 1988 version was pretty killer, this collects some extra tracks from the early days and also hangs together pretty well. Double Red vinyl comes in black poly-lined sleeves, non-gatefold outer sleeve. Flat, quiet, decent pressing. , these are outtakes, b sides, demos, and a live track from the early days, so don't expect Pink Floyd here... I mean were you expecting that from the Jesus and Mary Chain? Buy two copies, one for each ear!

This pressing also available with gold promo stamp upper right corner. No promotional markings on label. This is one of the handful of bands whose b-sides and demos make for a record nearly as good as their official releases and probably better than their later ones LOL....

Not a proper album of course, but still absolutely essential if you're a fan. Every release of theirs after this I would argue is >meh<. Inspired covers, alternate versions of songs from the first two LPs, the classic J&MC melody-buried-inside-a-wall-of- sound. Side 2 alone is worth the price of ission!

Mine has no TOWNHOUSE DMM on the runout, otherwise matches this release

Fucking brilliant. Really - do yourself a favour and listen to this. Some absolute pop noise masterpieces

Got an original press that I probably paid £5 for back in the day. All you peeps talking about sound quality - let's be honest - it's not really about that is it. It's amazing lofi noise recorded cheaply. Brings back happy drunken memories. Love it.

What a bummer - mine had LP1 twice instead pf LP1 & LP2 (= LP2 is missing) :(

Am I the only one with this issue??

This does indeed sound incredible. Also the pressing itself is nice. No surface noise whatsoever

I bought a copy at a local shop that was closing down and it was recorded backwards, anyone had that happen?

Oks for warner . The sound is in its right place. Clean cut.
