The Wait is Over: My Bloody Valentine Reissue Classic Albums, Compile EPs

March 22, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

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.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Well, this is certainly very exciting, though after so many delays, I'll believe it when the discs are spinnin' in my player. But if it really is true this time, it is something to celebrate. My only complaint is that MBV's final two studio recordings--a cover of Wire's MAP REF... and Barry/David's WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD--are not included on the EPs collection. That would have been nice, but it's a minor complaint.

    What Eric said - I'll believe it when I own it.

    While we're at it, what about the Weatherall mix of Soon?
