[Smurfie]

A new album would have been preferred, but it would be great to have these all on one compilation.

My Bloody Valentine will release a new compilation album called 'EP's 1988-1991' on May 7.

The band will also be re-releasing their two studio albums, 'Isn't Anything' and 'Loveless', on the same day. The compilation record draws together their 4 EP releases, 'Feed Me With Your Kiss', 'You Made Me Realise', 'Glider' and 'Tremolo' alongside 7 additional rare and previously un-released tracks.

The original two albums have been re-mastered by My Bloody Valentine main man Kevin Shields at Metropolis studios in London and 'Loveless' will come out as a 2-disc special edition featuring a previously unreleased re-mastering from original analogue tapes.

Formed in Dublin in 1983, the legendary band have influenced artists from Radiohead to The Horrors. 'Isn't Everything', their debut album, was originally released on Creations Records in 1988 and 'Loveless', their seminal album, was released in November 1991.

Prior to their debut album, the band recorded a series of EP's and mini-albums, which have been collated for the first time and appear on the new album.

The only one I dont have physical is 'Feed Me With your Kiss' but it would still be handy having them all together. Why didnt they include the Andy Weatherall Mix of 'Soon' though it is one of all time favourite remixes. guess it wouldnt fit in .

My name and siggy is from 'Thorn' on the You Made Me Realise EP. Every track on that is a classic!!

Fantastic. Have been awaiting a digital copy of the tracks on the YMMR EP for yonks. And every one of those is indeed a classic

I can't wait for this Great to have the Creation-era ep's and some extras all on one compilation, and most of all finally looking forward to the reissues of both albums :-)

[greendemon]

The Tremolo EP is surely the most extreme record ever to make the top 40, indeed even the charts. Would have been glorious to see them on TOTP at some point...one of the greatest acts of their time.

This might be one worthy of investigation...

And their only Top 40 hit too, i have that chart on cassette. Hosted by the late Tommy Vance who was standing in for Mark Goodier.

Got my copy of their EP's compilation in the post yesterday, it's ace, love the 3 previously unreleased tracks on it too

[andrew07]

I think they only ever got played once on the The Chart Show on tv, "Swallow" which was also on the Tremelo ep got played when that ep featured on the indie chart.

[TheThorne]

they didnt really do videos you usually just got a photo of them every week same thing happened with The Pixies for their first few albums. I remember that Pavement had a really freaky photo I thought what a bunch of weirdos.

[greendemon]

[ManicKangaroo]

[greendemon]
