Product Information

Talking to the 54-year-old about Loveless is fascinating because it’s clear that the record is, for him, very much a living thing that exists in the present. Domino are immensely proud to announce the signing of my bloody valentine, with new physical editions of the band’s seminal catalogue being made available. Fully analogue cuts of ‘m b v’ will also be available on deluxe and standard LPs globally for the first time. Not the reality of it, exactly—I knew what parts needed to be, but I didn’t know exactly what they were and how they sounded until I did them.

Track lengths can vary from under a minute to close to 7, but at no point does it sound filler or overdrawn, although it can be a bit too droney and repetive for some. The tape machine that plays it needs to have a preview head, which feeds the computer and the cutting machine and tells it how far the grooves should be away from each other so it can get maximum level on the disc.Not only was it a new type of music, it paved the way for a new type of journalism; inciting comparisons to elemental phenomenon, tapping into how the music affected the psyche. Compared to the original CD and the 2021 m b v Records pressing, I was impressed by the quality of this cassette.

It was released on 4 November 1991 in the United Kingdom by Creation Records and in the United States by Sire Records. Nobody’s hearing at 60 is as it was at 50, because somewhere in your early 50s there is a change, whether it’s biological or hormonal.

Having not been familiar with the band or any of its music, I was completely baffled at first listen.
