Jesus And Mary Chain, The - Psychocandy (40th Anniversary) [CD]

1985: As the last detached murmurs of post-punk slowly crest into the earliest whispers of shoegaze, standing there in a world all their own, cutting a profile both unique and incomparable is the Jesus and Mary Chain. With equal influence gleaned from The Stooges and The Shangri-Las, The Velvet Underground and The Beach Boys, the band releases the unassailable godhead album, Psychocandy.

In celebration of 40 years of one of the most important and watershed albums of all time, Third Man Records is humbled to announce our partnership with The Jesus and Mary Chain and the re-release of Psychocandy pressed on glorious black vinyl with a limited run pressed on hot honey vinyl. Packaged in a single pocket sleeve using the original artwork including the printed inner sleeve.

Cut by Warren Defever at Third Man Mastering using super high definition 192khz transfers of the original 1985 mix and featuring the classic JAMC line-up of Jim Reid, William Reid, Douglas Hart and Bobby Gillespie.
