1. Is the list I’ve compiled complete or are there any tracks I may have missed?
I’m aiming for a thorough timeline of their releases, but I’m not sure if I’ve overlooked anything.

2. I’ve noticed that several individual tracks were released on multiple EPs/albums, like Slow appearing on both versions of You Made Me Realise (EP, 1988) but also Feed Me with Your Kiss (EP, 1988).
Besides the live album tracks (which are inherently different from their studio counterparts), are there any significant differences between the versions of these tracks that were released on multiple EPs? Are they essentially the same?

3. What’s the story behind the Creation and Mercury versions of some of their EPs?
I’ve come across versions of the same EP released under both Creation and Mercury. Were there issues with song recordings, release rights, or any other production concerns during this time that led to the different versions?

I’m just trying to get a better understanding of MBV’s discography, and any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!

Does anyone know what pickup config Kevin uses on his Jaguar?

here's mine in order:

only tomorrow

only shallow

blown a wish

off your face

cigarette in your bed

p.s. - any songs you feel are only tomorrow's sister? i havent found anything that makes me feel like that yet <3 <3

EDIT: it’s fascinating how we’re all drawn to different aspects of mbv... those who mentioned only tomorrow seem to resonate more with their atmospheric, slower rock, while others lean toward the heavier, more intense tracks. we obvz all appreciate their full range, but it’s intriguing how these different styles seem to connect with us v uniquely. love a little spectrum.

Doesn’t need to be MBV obviously… just want this subs opinion!

Would anyone happen to have the original leaked "cowboy song" file which later became "how do you do it"?

Thanks.

I'd describe them like this:

Only Shallow: Chaotic

Loomer: Heavy

Touched: Weird

To Here Knows When: Fuzzy

When You Sleep: Dreamy

I Only Said: Happy

Come In Alone: Bright

Sometimes: Melancholic

Blown A Wish: Lulling

What You Want: Soothing

Soon: Perfection (or upbeat idk)

This assured that everyone would be able to make a little money off the album if by chance it became legendary years later. This is true real [person] behavior that shows Kevin has a real love for the band. In a lot of music from that era only the principle songwriter got credit. So it's quite interesting that he did this.

Thoughts?

I need to make a cover of when you sleep for school, please give me everything related to the production you know about as I want to make it as accurate as possible. I’m having a lot of trouble finding minute details of the production. I want absolutely everything.

In the infamous japanese magazine interview, kevin says “connecting a Hofner guitar to a Marshall and over dubbed the distorted sound In other parts.” First of all what does this even mean, second of all I have never seen MBV with a hofner guitar? which one would it be? Part of it also mentions the SPX-90 being used in the “chord backing of the intro.” can anyone elaborate on this?

This is a drunk post, but I really love their music. What song converted you to realizing they’re one of the greatest things to happen to music? My favorite is thorn but I will forever love them after hearing mbv.

Well, tried to at least. Couldn't find a ( shorter ), white wig for the life of me

Apologies if this is a boring post: has anybody ordered a t-shirt or hoodie from the current MBV merch store? If so how do they fit. I’m unsure on the size and there’s no size guide :(

Thanks in advance for any help!

Basically the last time I checked in with Loveless was in 2012. All these years later I am finding out there have been a lot of remasters. It's a bit chaotic. If you have a list of them or can just recommend me the best one I'd appreciate it. I know the half-speed analogue is definitely worth having but in terms of a digital copy I'm curious what you all think -- O.G.? 2012 Remaster? Another?

I think I actually prefer the original release. But I'm not sure. Did they ever fix What You Want?

I have an idea one day to cover mbv's stuff live for a cover band very far in the future but all i have is a fender gtx50, shields blender pedal and two band members who are still confused about shoegaze. What other items should get to really start getting that shoegaze sound?

I know they don’t produce those anymore, where can I get them now?

I don't know if i need it or not. I like doing experimental stuff and sag mode seems to be really good but how fun it is? It is a very montone effect or You can do a Lot of things with that sag mode??

How did Kevin achieve the sort of wavy, tremolo, vibrato sound at the start of only shallow. To e it sounds like distortion, reverse reverb and tremolo being beaten by Kevin's whammy bar

hey there, i randomly heard a MBV song in an instagram ad but it was a super short clip, and then i lost it.

the lyrics were hard to understand but it was something like "no no no don't fall too hard" or something along those lines. does anyon know what song i'm talking about?
