Darklands

The Jesus and Mary Chain
Released 1987Alternative & Indie
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A cleaner, melodic follow-up to Psychocandy. Tuneful and acclaimed. A high point. Released in 1987, it's one of The Jesus and Mary Chain's later high points.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
