My Bloody Valentine – EP's 1988-1991

Why no official vinyl release of this? They would sell a ton of these. They haven't even repressed the EPs. An official, remastered vinyl release of this would be amazing. This is pretty essential stuff.

The reissue in 2021 on Domino has two extra unlisted tracks on the second disc. A remix of "Don't Ask Why" and a second track I claimed was entitled "What Can You See".

Okay so I take back one thing I said. I got a little carried away. I've been working on a book for several years and I think I put stuff together in my head. When you're dealing with thousands of articles and sources you go back and double check them I can't find where I got the title from. I think someone labeled it "What Can You See" when I imported it. I'm going to get a cd player and look on a computer see what the real label is. The other info is based on supposition which I think is right. Its either from the two aborted session in early 1989 at Blackwing or its leftover from the Glider EP. By the vocal style which he abandoned by early '89, and the way he's released it, I'm guessing it was unsatisfactory and its from those two aborted EP's when they changed their whole way of working. No more finishing things when the time ran out. Much more experimentation. Using tube amps, more sampling, and no dry vocals. The dry vocal is what makes me think it has to be from early 1989. Glider is when he started with the really buried vocals usually with multiple overdubbed vocal tracks. He has only released about 3 songs from those two aborted EP;s so there are 5 tracks left over and this is probably one of them. And I think this is what led to him working so much harder and coming up with Soon which has the dance elements integrated in a much more inspired way. So that analysis I feel very good about based on the years of research I've done for this book I'm working on. I should have a site up in a few months called TurnMyHeadIntoSound.com (the title of the book) that will have all kinds of MBV stuff that didn't fit in the book and then I'll eventually release the book in the next year.

Why didn’t domino reissue these eps on vinyl? Ridiculous. Just tease us with the albums

Wish they'd do a vinyl boxset of all these. Love all the EPs and the bonus tracks especially, and I'd buy it in a heartbeat if they did. The EPs are kinda my favorite MBV material actually. I'm sure I'm not alone in that

This is probably the best, and most re-listenable collection of songs released by this band, including the studio albums.
