Artist:	JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, THE
Title:	Darklands
Label:	PLAIN RECORDINGS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	PLAIN 147LP

"The second album from the brothers Reid, originally released in 1987. Darklands is more accessible and hooky than Psychocandy, leaving most of the feedback and some of the noise behind to focus on the songs and to make a clear break from the legendary debut album. With tracks such as 'April Skies', 'Darklands', 'Happy When It Rains' and 'Nine Million Rainy Days' the Reid's proved they had plenty of great songs in them and wouldn't be boxed in by the past. An all out classic."

Title:	Automatic
Label:	PLAIN RECORDINGS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	PLAIN 167LP

"1989's Automatic is the third album from this Glasgow alternative rock institution and was engineered by Alan Moulder. At this point in their career, J&MC was essentially a duo -- brothers Jim and William Reid and a drum machine. The dark, twisted pop -- sometimes soaked in feedback, sometimes pounded out with drum-machine backing -- of Automatic contains their most successful single up to that point, 'Head On' (later covered by the Pixies). Pitchfork wrote in 2006: 'Conventional wisdom wrongly calls this the dud. With the band reduced to the brothers only, things go artificial: the drum machine is foregrounded, the bass is played on keyboards, the feedback's on vacation. In that space, the Reids take their biggest shot at doing full-on pop, something that feels like a career peak.'" On 180 gram vinyl, housed in a full-color gatefold sleeve.

Title:	Honey's Dead
Label:	PLAIN RECORDINGS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	PLAIN 168LP

"Released in 1992, Honey's Dead is the fourth studio album by Scottish brothers Jim and William Reid. The title refers to one of the band's early hits, 'Just Like Honey,' and the complete departure from their earlier musical style. Honey's Dead was recorded and mixed in the band's London studio with famed engineers Alan Moulder and Flood. Alternative radio stations picked up 'Far Gone And Out,' which remains one of the band's most popular singles to date while the album's first single 'Reverence' attracted some controversy for the lyrics 'I want to die just like Jesus Christ,' and 'I want to die just like JFK.'" 180 gram vinyl.
