Editorial Reviews

The Vaselines have long been celebrated by musicians and indie rock enthusiasts across the globe, including superfan Kurt Cobain, while remaining underappreciated by the mainstream. "Enter The Vaselines" is the definitive triple LP/double CD collection. Includes new mixes and re-mastered versions of material previously available on "The Way Of The Vaselines", plus never-before-heard demos, and live recordings from 1986 in Bristol and 1988 in London.

I bought this and still prefer my old "Way of" collection. The "remastering" here isn't great, and even dilutes some of the songs. Best example: the fabulous "The Day I Was a Horse" sounds very different. Listen to it on both collections and you'll see what I mean. The lead sliding guitar is almost mixed completely OUT, and that was the best thing about that song. I love remasters, but some of these barely even sound like the original.

I'm not a Nirvana fan but boy did Kurt have some good taste in music. If you have never heard The Vaselines then you are in for a treat. Catchy, dirty, sexy and rawkaous all in one sitting. All killer, no filler. The live tracks and demos are cool and are an incentive to purchase for those who already own the previous comp. Great music to start the day to.

Worth the money. Get it. Moooooonnnnssstttteeerrrppussssssyyy.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Enter The Vaselines (Audio CD)

So we all knew (most off us, at least) the vaselines via Nirvana.
And we liked those covers, didn't we? Well, this is the complete
stuff that this scottish band, plus a great bonus disc with demos
(nothing extraordinaire, but it is always interesting to be part
of the development of a song) and some live versions of great songs
by the vaselines in the 80's. And, believe or not, they sounded just
marvelous alive; how i wish i could see them now that they are on tour.

So, if you're a Nirvana fan, don't doubt it. Get this. And if you like
strange sounds and witty lyrics loaded with sexual references, and just
good music, get this.
