Barbed Wire Kisses
Barbed Wire Kisses (B-Sides and More) is a compilation of singles, b-sides and rare tracks by Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain. Throughout the 1980s the band was known for their prodigious output in these formats, often in limited editions which quickly went out of print. This album collects many of those releases spanning the bands career up to that point.
The band's cover of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?" was used on the soundtrack to the 1988 film Earth Girls Are Easy. "Mushroom" is a cover of a Can song. "Sidewalking" was voted one of the best singles of 1988 by Musician magazine.
The title comes from a line in the song "Cherry Came Too" from the Darklands album.
This album was not included in the 2006 remasterings of the JAMC back catalog. All tracks from this compilation, except for "Mushroom" and "Just Out of Reach" (which appears in a rerecorded form on Barbed Wire Kisses.) are now included on The Power of Negative Thinking: B-Sides & Rarities.

Famous quotes containing the words wire and/or kisses:
“A new idea is rarely born like Venus attended by graces
More commonly it’s modeled of baling wire and acne.
More commonly it wheezes and tips over.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
“Who fed me from her gentle breast,
And hushed me in her arms to rest,
And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?
My Mother.”
—Ann Taylor (1783–1824)
