A great news day at Second Disc HQ gets even greater with the announcement that Sony Music’s U.K. arm is prepping reissues of My Bloody Valentine’s classic Isn’t Anything and Loveless albums, bringing a three-year journey to an end in May.

As our friends at Slicing Up Eyeballs can tell you, retailers first reported remasters of the iconic shoegaze albums, released in 1988 and 1991, back in 2009. They’ve been rescheduled and delayed no less than nine times since then, leaving fans to wonder if they would ever see the light of day.

On May 7, the wondering is over. Not only will both albums be reissued, but there’s some bonus material to go around. Loveless – almost universally hailed as the greatest album of the shoegaze genre and named as one of the 500 greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone – features a bonus disc with an alternate mastering of the album overseen by MBV’s Kevin Shields but never released.

The same day, Sony’s also releasing EPs 1988-1991, a double-disc set that collates the Irish band’s four EPs released on Creation Records, a bonus instrumental 7″ included with limited edition copies of Isn’t Anything, two rare B-sides and three previously unreleased tracks.

So far, only the EP compilation has an Amazon U.K. link, but we’ll update more as it comes. For now, let us rejoice that these sets are finally being released with track lists, after the jump.
