Yes! I watched the JAMC late 1992 and they opened with Catchfire. When that bassline kicks in, you just know its gonna be better than special.

Yeah, I think it's probably their best off of HONEY'S DEAD. Definitely a keeper.:thumb:

I dusted off my copies of Psychocandy and darklands recently, hadn't listened to them for yonks. Some candy talking and Darklands were always two of my favorites along with Kill surf city, but having listened to them again i've gotta say that right now Taste of cindy is my fave J&MC recording.

Taste of Cindy is brilliant. It is one of the tracks on PSYCHOCANDY that strikes me the most. I also like the acoustic version most widely available on BARBED WIRE KISSES.

Upside Down Vegetable Man Cracking Up

Anyone here have recordings of their 'riot' shows at North London Poly or the Electric Ballroom? I'd be interested to hear what they really sounded like as opposed to how I remember them...my memory tells me that they were pretty awful and nowhere near as good as their studio recordings!

  1. Darklands
  2. Upside Down
  3. You Trip Me Up

Recently got right back into the Chain, after a lengthy hiatus, good stuff, but having got rid of a lot of the albums in a mass clear out at some point, frustratingly now have even more to spend on rebuying...:(

Automatic was a brilliant album - their most underrated too. Between Planets could've been a possible single but Head On (the second single) inexplicably bombed

automatic was the album that got me into JAMC and head on did quite well in the indie charts here in the US, if i remember correctly.
