Description: RELEASED 6th December 2024 PRE-ORDER NOW! --------------------------------------- 40th anniversary 7" reissue of the band's debut single To celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Jesus And Mary Chain's debut single 'Upside Down' is being reissued on 7" vinyl which - as per the original pressing of the release - comes with a colour variation of the original artwork design. To be released on 6 December 2024. Originally released in November 1984, it put the band on the map selling 50,000 copies and subsequently became one of the first major successes for the now iconic British independent label Creation. The b-side is a cover of the Syd Barrett written 'Vegetable Man', a track not officially released on a Pink Floyd album until 2016's The Early Years 1965–1972 box set, but a track that caught the imagination of the band in the early-mid 80's and their cover is an unmistakable and celebrated version. The single topped the UK Indie Chart twice, once in February 1985 and then again in the March. It stayed in the Indie charts for a huge 76 weeks making it one of the biggest selling indie singles of the 1980s. Hailing from East Kilbride in Scotland, The Jesus And Mary Chain revolves around brothers Jim and William Reid, the bands founders and only consistent members. The band are recognised as being key to the development of the shoegaze scene and have remained uncompromising in their sound releasing eight albums, most recently 'Glasgow Eyes' released earlier this year.
