Famed for their infighting and dysfunctional behaviour, The Jesus And Mary Chain, whose line-up once boasted Primal Scream‘s Bobby Gillespie on drums, announced their split in 1999.

Reid then formed a new band, Freeheat, and released a number of solo singles before reforming JAMC with his brother William in 2007.

The Jesus And Mary Chain will re-issue their entire back catalogue this year, with double CD and DVD versions of their first two albums ‘Psychocandy’ and ‘Darklands’ released on Monday (September 19).
