The Jesus And Mary Chain: Discography 1985 - 1994
Kostas does his usual thorough job of an in depth profile here
Koastas includes the notes:
"Inspired by the sounds of the post-punk surrounding them in the late '70s, the Reids began talking about starting a band for years, but it wasn't until 1983 that they got serious. They made a series of Ramones-influenced demos on home recording gear, then recruited bassist Douglas Hart and drummer Murray Dalglish. This early edition of the band started playing the occasional gig, often uninvited by the club's owners, and soon caught the ear of local lad Bobby Gillespie. Thanks to his passing a tape on to Alan McGee, the band scored a slot at the latter's club The Living Room. Impressed by the band's sound and presentation, McGee signed them to his Creation label and signed on as their manager. In late 1984 -- just as Gillespie joined in place of Dalglish -- the band issued its seminal debut single, "Upside Down," a gnarly blast of live-wire feedback anchored by a caveman-like drumbeat. “

Now I would prolly day they aren’t my favourite band and I think since their early emergence I just felt too hecken freckin’ old to countenance them properly somehow, I have liked some things and get the connections to the Velvets etc but I don't think I own any . . . . . my loss
