Jesus and Mary Chain - Deluxe Reissues

Review by Dom Gourlay

Over the next three weeks, starting with Psychocandy and Darklands on September 26th and finishing with Stoned And Dethroned and Munki on October 10th, each of their six albums is to be re-issued as a triple CD/DVD deluxe box set containing remastered versions, singles and b-sides, demo recordings, live concerts, television appearances and numerous rare and unreleased songs complete with extensive booklets containing interviews with band members, lyric sheets and rare photographs and memorabilia.. Here, DiS reviews and reflects on each re-issue while ultimately proclaiming The Jesus & Mary Chain as possibly the most important British band of the past thirty years. »
