As a fan of the BJM, buying up every album and EP I could find was a fairly easy (albeit expensive) undertaking. The 7\u201d and 12\u201d singles, however, were another story. Copies of their early releases (with alternate versions, of course) reach up into the hundreds on eBay, etc. Recently, Anton Newcombe has acquired the rights to these early releases and has been reissuing them on his \u2018a\u2019 recordings label (previous rare reissues include the <em>This Is Why You Love Me<\/em> and <em>Love<\/em> 12\u201ds on CD). This 2 CD set essentially fills in the rest of the gaps. The early singles from \u201992-\u201995 show the band in baby form, finding a sound while paying respect to garage bands of the \u201960s and guitar bands like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rideox4.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ride<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/swervedriver\" target=\"_blank\">Swervedriver<\/a> of the \u201990s. Also included is the band\u2019s most recent single, the 12\u201d <em>Illuminomi b\/w There\u2019s A War Going On<\/em>, released just this year but sounding less like their last two albums (which left fans who wanted another <em>&#8230;And This Is Our Music<\/em> asking themselves if Anton\u2019s really just mental) and more like the modern psychedelia they\u2019ve been heralded for. As a bonus, two songs by Acid (a BJM pseudonym from 1993) see their first CD release here, along with 12 others that have been wax-only releases. A real treat for the fans, even more for completists. Just awesome, really.
