The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (Remastered) (1986/2025) (Vinyl Hi-Res) FLAC/MP3

Third Man Celebrates 40th Anniversary of The Jesus And Mary Chains Psychocandy with Landmark New Vinyl Edition. 1985 MASTERPIECE NEWLY REMASTERED. TO BRING PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD CLARITY TO ITS CONTROLLED DISTORTION. Third Man Records is proud to announce a very special 40th anniversary edition of the Jesus and Mary Chain’s milestone 1985 debut album, Psychocandy. One of the most important and watershed albums of all time, Psychocandy will be available via a new and ongoing partnership between The Jesus and Mary Chain and Third Man Records on standard black vinyl and limited-edition Hot Honey vinyl beginning Friday, November 14. Both editions come packaged in a single pocket sleeve using the original album artwork, including the printed inner sleeve. Pre-orders are available now.

With equal influence gleaned from The Stooges and The Shangri-Las, The Velvet Underground and The Beach Boys, the Jesus and Mary Chain emerged from East Kilbride, Scotland to unleash their debut masterpiece, Psychocandy, onto an unsuspecting world and it is safe to say nothing has ever been the same. Originally released November 18, 1985, Psychocandy now returns louder than ever – perhaps even louder than any other record before or since. Cut by Warren Defever at Third Man Mastering using super high definition 192khz transfers of the original 1985 mix, the high speed treatment here affords a dynamic range and heretofore unheard clarity to the band’s unprecedented utilization of controlled feedback. Featuring the founding JAMC line-up of Jim Reid, William Reid, Douglas Hart, and Bobby Gillespie, the beautiful noise and overdriven distortion of such unassailably classic songs as “Just Like Honey,” “You Trip Me Up,” and “Never Understand” has never sounded so clear.
