The Jesus and May Chain reveal fan-selected rarities compilation for 11LP vinyl box set

The Jesus and Mary Chain has revealed the 14-song tracklist that will comprise the 11th and final LP in its forthcoming The Complete Vinyl Collection box set, a collection of B-sides and rarities — including material from the Barbed Wire Kisses album and Power of Negative Thinking box set — that were voted on by fans.

The all-vinyl box set is due out Dec. 2 and is currently being sold primarily through My Play Direct — which isn’t making the set available to customers ordering from the U.S.  However, as expected, it can now be pre-ordered via Amazon.co.uk, which is selling it for about £144 (roughly $233) shipped to the U.S. (compared to My Play Direct’s base price of £130, before shipping).

The previously announced box set includes all six of the Mary Chain’s original studio albums, a BBC live concert set, a 2LP collection of BBC studio sessions and the just-announced, fan-selected LP of B-sides and rarities, the tracklist for which you can see below.
