Upside Down (The Jesus and Mary Chain song)


"Upside Down" is the first single from the Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain. The song was written by William Reid and Jim Reid, and was produced by The Jesus and Mary Chain. The b-side is a cover of a Syd Barrett song and was produced by Joe Foster.
It is the band's only early period release for the Creation Records label. And with about 50,000 copies sold it was the first success for the label.
The sleeves for the first 1.000 copies were printed by Bobby Gillespie in Glasgow, and featured handwritten messages from the group. Subsequent copies were produced in several colour variations including red, yellow, blue and pink. In 1985 the single was re-released with a totally different sleeve but the same catalogue number.
