Iconic shoegaze band My Bloody Valentine will finally reissue its influential back catalog on May 7th. In addition to expanded packages of 1988's Isn't Anything and 1991's Loveless, the quartet's four cherished EPs will be collected for the first time with rarities, non-LP tracks and unreleased material as the two-CD set EPs 1988-1991.

According to Pitchfork, both proper albums, originally issued by Creation Records in Britian, were remastered by MBV mastermind Kevin Shields at London's Metropolis Studios for release via Sony. Isn't Anything is a straight reissue, while Loveless will be packaged as a two-disc set to include a previously unreleased version of the album that Shields mastered from the original analog tapes.

The sequence for the reissues of Isn't Anything and both versions of Loveless will be unchanged from the versions that have been available for years. The track listing for EPs 1988-1991  is as follows:

"You Made Me Realise"
"Slow"
"Thorn"
"Cigarette in Your Bed"
"Drive It All Over Me"
"Feed Me With Your Kiss"
"I Believe"
"Emptiness Inside"

"Moon Song"
"Instrumental no. 2"
"Instrumental no. 1"
"Glider (full-length version)"

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
