Upside Down: Best of Review
Upside Down: The Best of the Jesus and Mary Chain, released in 2010, can almost be seen as an expanded version of 2002’s 21 Singles 1984–1998. This two-disc set has 20 of the 21 singles – “Snakedriver” is omitted, unfortunately – and boasts a well-chosen bounty of album cuts and rarities, including “All Things Must Pass” (recorded for the television series Heroes in 2008) and “45 RPM” (which appeared on a rare compilation from U.K. radio station XFM). Upside Down might seem like too much for casual fans, but it retails for the price of a single disc and functions as a thorough, accurate representation of the band’s discography.
