Classic Scottish Albums: Psychocandy

BBC Radio 6 Music - Classic Scottish Albums, Psychocandy

Davie Scott looks back on Psychocandy, the 1985 debut album by The Jesus and Mary Chain.

To complement the 6 Music Festival, taking place this year in Glasgow, we repeat highlights of a series in which musician Davie Scott reveals the stories behind classic Scottish albums.

In this episode, first broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland in 2010, Davie looks back at Psychocandy, the debut album by the Jesus and Mary Chain, released in 1985. With the help Janice Long, Bobby Gillespie and the famously-elusive Reid brothers themselves, Davie comes to the conclusion that teen angst never sounded so good... well certainly not from East Kilbride.
