The Fall peel sessions were consistently brilliant too. Even the later ones. Check out the peel version of "blindness". "You were-ah expecting-ah Aristotle Onassis. But instead-ah you got Mr James Fenwick-ah. Of Prestwich".
The best ever Peel Session which is saying something when you consider the band's that graced the recording studio - a who's who of British alternative rock. God bless them all. So many memories.
I remember an old press description that even their management embraced on their press release back in the day...."The Jesus & Mary Chain can simply be described as the Beach Boys on acid."
Thank you for sharing. I did a shit load of acid in the mid 80's in college & can attest to that press release. How is interpreted is a matter of personal opinion...Cheers..
One of these bands that never fail to surprise. They give the impression they didnt know what they were doing - the basic songs, Gillespie on a stand up snare drum, Douglas Hart playing a bass with 2 strings or something.....but when I saw them on a live bill with Dinosaur Jnr, Blur and My Bloody Valentine - the most impressive act was these guys - yet I expected the least from them. Here again, these songs sound great - perhaps the songs are better without being cloaked in feedback (Never Understand) and with a bit looser vibe from playing live.
No offence to the immortal Mary Chain but nothing they play is complex at all. Especially Psychocandy, some arent even 3 chord!! Compare that to MBV attempting to make it sound anything like their records with 20 different pedals, weird tunings AND having to bend the whammy bar. Wel jealous of that gig man, mostly for JAMC and MBV
What I like about the Mary chain is you don’t need to be Eric fuckin Clapton to start a band these guys could barley play and crated a classic record first try, very simple chords simple bass lines and drum patterns as well, for this record the broken shin ei did everything, the hard part is making a good record and songwriting
I saw them on that tour (in London) and it was great. Have seen JAMC (and MBV) many times - the last time I saw them was a couple of years ago on the Pychocandy anniversary tour and I don't think I've heard them sound better!! The band were really tight, and sounded great - they've still got it. Last two time I wanted to see them the gig was postponed due to Covid (April Skies anniversary tour) but fingers crossed it will happen this year!
Not really...just brought back a rawness that harked back to The Velvet Underground, including the drum setup being a tribute to Marion, the Velvet's drummer.
@@croiners4166 its a cool recording but i agree with someone in the audience who at the end went "wait they only played half an hour? This night wasnt worth it"
@@DavidHarris-yl3dw they were punk to me although they were classified as alternative indie etc.....they had appreciation for 60s music and loved pop melodies just like Ramones
I wish Psychocandy was more like these recordings are, but its still a good album anyways. I listen to these recordings more than I listen to their studio Albums.
"... bubblegum tunes with harsh, feedback-drenched distortion ..." - that's about it. Definitely set them apart from the competition, and shot them into the Festive Fifty (so Peel's listeners liked what they were hearing).

John was the only producer/DJ that "got it". His sessions are how the bands wanted to sound live. He made it happen. Brilliant.

Wicked soundgod bless john peel, me& my mate found so many bands through that special music man ✌️
This must be one of the most exciting debut sessions ever.
Still remember the shock of hearing it and then playing it in the common room next day
I always start crying when I hear feedback. It's such a beautiful sound.
Psychocandy must be a very wet record for you

best peel session ever.

A high water mark for the Peel Sessions. These are even better than the versions on Psychocandy.

The Beach Boys were already on acid, so does that make JAMC just The Beach Boys...?
Beach Boys + Velvet Underground = JAMC
I once read a youtuber saying they sounded like "The Beach Boys being fucked by The Stooges" which i thought was wonderful.
This is the reason my ears are so big😊

'...cloaked in feedback (Never Understand)'... It's one of the most exciting and influential recordings of the '80s, mate

BBC World Service 03:30 GMT John Peel Show, WOW !! Midweek show at Danceteria, 20 people in audience, 7 remaining as their set drew to a close.
I was one of the 13
@@UFO_computers I seem to remember sitting on blocks or something on the far right in the room.
Awesome noise ready for radio play today.
Great band...!!!🍻🍻🍻
First heard via John Peels BBC World Service Show.
Oh yeah that's the stuff
I love it
Eye love that feedback,
The drum sound here is so much better than on the first albums.
Great!
Amazing..
Excelent. 😎
a head of their time

gary nolan this is way ahead of what any shitty 80s band was doing the velvet underground were also way ahead of their time in 1967
@@flinchey6962 I mean the Meat Puppets were around and doing their thing, as were Devo. Both bands well ahead of TJAMC.

Fuck yes thankyou !
Ah,remember the days they used to do ten minute gigs and incite mayhem from unhappy punters? Good Times.
We waited around all night here in NYC @ Danceteria for 20 min. show way back when......
@@croiners4166 its a cool recording but i agree with someone in the audience who at the end went "wait they only played half an hour? This night wasnt worth it"
behind all the feedback is just a really kickass punk band
About as much punk as Leonard Cohen.
they brought the cramps and mixed it with joy division
they also wrote 50s girl group love songs...so hey now
In front of a whatever punk band is some really kickass feedback.
@@DavidHarris-yl3dw they were punk to me although they were classified as alternative indie etc.....they had appreciation for 60s music and loved pop melodies just like Ramones
@user-hv3uy5eg6k So what's punk?
Genius
最高！
just fecken perfect.
Young, and raw as fuck.
woouww!!!

1984 !
This is a BELOVED band. Psychocandy is one of the greatest...(Ever)
Really something
The eighties .
They stand apart from the rest.
damn fuzzy and garagy !!!
I wish Psychocandy was more like these recordings are, but its still a good album anyways. I listen to these recordings more than I listen to their studio Albums.

Comment from me Dad & other brothers - are you headphones broken? NOISE
shortest Peel session ever?
"... bubblegum tunes with harsh, feedback-drenched distortion ..." - that's about it. Definitely set them apart from the competition, and shot them into the Festive Fifty (so Peel's listeners liked what they were hearing).
Oh, that's how you wanna start the song? Ok, that's how you wanna end the song? Alright
