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"

"Moon Song"
"Instrumental no. 2"
"Instrumental no. 1"

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
