Jesus and Mary Chain Albums to Be Reissued

Quanah Humphreys and Amy Phillips report:
The Jesus and Mary Chain formed in 1984 and spent the next 15 years creating an audio blueprint of guitar fuzz and reverb for countless bands to follow...although it could be argued that they only did that on their first album, and then spent the next decade and a half repeating themselves, before calling it quits in 1999.

Long out of print in the U.S., the first five JAMC albums are being reissued by Rhino Records on DualDisc format. 1985's Psychocandy, 1987's Darklands, 1989's Automatic, 1992's Honey's Dead, and 1994's Stoned and Dethroned, are scheduled for release on July 11. The discs offer newly remastered versions of the albums on the CD side, while the DVD side features the albums in high-resolution audio format along with three music videos.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and the Raveonettes have already pre-ordered these:

Awesome news!!! My copy of 21 Singles is worn out. I'll be picking up Pyschocandy at least.

GoVegan

Nice! I'm in for all of them.

tofu

Nice. I would definitely pick up Psychocandy.

wendersfan

Wow, and on my birthday too...

Brain Stew

I just bought them all! Arggh!

Well, cool nonetheless...

GoVegan

That happened to me with the Talking Heads Brick. I'd finally caved and picked up CD copies of three of the albums I only had on cassette before and then the Dualdiscs were released soon after that.

rexinnih

Does the "high resolution" on the DVD mean a 5.1 surround mix? That would be great.

fnordboy

Well, I will be broke, picking up them all.

Tscott

I already own 3 of the 5 albums but I'm interested in getting all of these new issues.

Arpeggi

I just received all 5 of the albums today from amazon.

They sound much better than the older releases.

Psychocandy=best album ever.

Anyone find a good price on these? Best Buy had them for $17.99!
