UPSIDE DOWN
40th ANNIVERSARY REISSUE
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of our debut single ‘Upside Down’, both Warner Music Group and Third Man Records will be releasing it on 7” vinyl record on 6 December 2024 and it is available to Pre-Order online and from all good record stores. The Third Man Records reissue is only available in the US and will be on sale exclusively at TMR storefronts, webstore and The Jesus And Mary Chain US webstore .
Originally released in November 1984, the groundbreaking and seminal feedback heavy ( a slight understatement ) masterpiece, instantly put the band on the map. Championed by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel and featured in his Festive 50 playlist of 1984, Upside Down went onto sell 50,000 copies, becoming the first major success for the now iconic British independent label Creation Records.
The B-side is a cover of the Syd Barrett’s ‘Vegetable Man’, a track not officially released on a Pink Floyd album until 2016’s The Early Years 1965–1972 box set, but a song that caught the imagination of the band in the 1980s. Their cover is an unmistakable and celebrated version.
The single topped the UK Indie chart twice, once in February 1985, and then again a month later. It stayed in the Indie charts for a huge 76 weeks, making it one of the biggest selling indie singles of the 1980s.
