There's more standouts on this debut album by East Kilbride, Scotland's The Jesus and Mary Chain than most bands manage on a best of after 40 years. 'Just Like Honey' is majestic, dense, dark harrowing yet beautiful, 'The Hardest Walk' is a lesson on how best to utilise vocal reverb, 'Cut Dead' is up there with the best neo psychedelic shoegaze tunes of all time and 'Taste Of Cindy' is a rebellious juxtaposition of noise rock and perfect pop. In one of the coup's of Jack White's label so far, this groundbreaking album remaster is on his Third Man Records and his team have been no slouches in brining about an enlightening listening experience. It's cut using super high-res (192kb) transfers bringing unprecedented clarity to the band's meticulously crafted chaos for this 40th anniversary edition.
