Jesus and Mary Chain were a Scottish outfit who achieved a good deal of notoriety (critical as well as notorious) in Britain and Europe but, as always, not much notice in the U.S. at the time. The American audiences were still in the process of digesting U2 and getting ready for the advent of Grunge. Jesus and Mary Chain would have to wait their turn.

But if you were sampling bands in 1988, you may have heard them. If not, this is what you missed the first time around.

Who says you can never go back?
