highfives Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'll have to listen to this in full before picking it up, but I'm interested for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm definitely in but with a band this large I can't foresee any problems finding this at practically any record store on the release date. No info on variants and all the mock up images on fb are black so unless people are really itching to have a signed JAMC record waiting it out is a sound idea.

I'm cautiously optimistic on this one, but I haven't heard the new song yet either. And yeah, that cover is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axisrecapital Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The pre-sales are live....great limited packages available: https://thejesusandmarychain.tmstor.es/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 £60 for a signed test pressing isn't that bad. Still I'll hold out for retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numanoid Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Test pressing is tempting. Would prefer just a simple color variant. But I might grab this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonjulin Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I went big and got the super deluxe. I gotta have the signed test pressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axisrecapital Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I just bought a signed test press and the regular record. I am stoked for this one....very stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Not terribly impressed with the new song. I'll grab the album when its out in shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Sounds like the Jesus and Mary Chain. Had to buy it, despite that ugly fuckin' cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Decent song, I'll certainly be listening to this when it comes out. I agree with the shitty artwork comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numanoid Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) The art has grown on me. It looks like something that would have come out in 1992. I think the whole band name should have been done in soup letters. Go big or go home lol.

numanoid Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I just realized... looking at the track listing, most of these songs were already released as either Jim's Freeheat project, or Sister Vanilla. Even Amputation sounded familiar but I couldn't place it. It's because it was previously called Dead End Kids released by Freeheat. So it seems a lot of this isn't new.

bluescreenlife Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 People complaining about the silly album cover clearly don't know this band well. They definitely picked a bad cover on purpose. They've been trolling since '83. I recommend watching a couple of their interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluescreenlife Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I enjoy a good album cover but if the music is good I don't care what's on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the whole point. Music first, but if they were really trying to be funny and punk they should have done something cool like the Feederz did and put sandpaper on the cover. I remember when I bought that record I had to double cover it so it wouldn't scratch up my other records every time I pulled it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I don't like this album cover but that's never going to stop me liking a record and I'm pretty sure recycled music or not I'll enjoy this cos it's JAMC.
