Note for note rip off of The Birthday Party's "Bully Bones"! Except sounds weak in comparison - like every band that consequently tried to sound like them.
Oooh, yeah, it's my favourite song off their earlier stuff. I haven't heard this before. It's slower than the "Geek EP" version. Equally great, just different. Kevin has no idea... I love this song. XD "Strawberry Wine" is beautiful, too.
I am so pleased i found this release a couple of weeks ago and the guy in the record shop claimed it had never been played and was not a re-release, it was not cheap but it was totaly worth it!
I don't really like the pseudo Elvis impression their earlier stuff, but I guess that all great bands have to start somewhere. I will admit that the distortion is pretty cool though. Many thanks for uploading this, this is a tricky EP to find!
@thesemenincident in response to all three of your comments: well, they definitely recorded it under the influence of The Jesus and Mary Chain - I presume "Psychocandy" was out already by the time they recorded this EP, or at least "Never Understand" the single. so technically, this IS noise pop.
@DJFutureSphere actually "psychocandy" came out november of 85, "geek!" came out in december of 85...so they were being recorded virtually at the same time
I've found all their early stuff that way... and even some of these early EP's can be found for not-great-but-still-reasonable prices on Discogs (some of the prices are definitely over-inflated, but I see a lot of copies of this particular record going from, like, 20-30 bucks normally).
I dug it up while searching Mediafire (with the Geek! EP in full though) for MBV EPs, they happen to be as rare as it could only be. Well, anyway, Google "my bloody valentine geek! ep download" and it will come up with some suggestions I think... glad you loved it - it is my favorite track from them before they got really huge!

PPS: I should mention, most of that hiss is actually coming from a guitar going into a fuzz pedal.

@DJFutureSphere Though I would say My Bloody Valentine became far better than Jesus and Mary Chain ever was.

PS: Youtube compresses audio, so the quality being poor is a given, but the original recording is actually just really hissy and distorted like this.
Think of it as an early example of Noise Pop...

Just use Soulseek for MP3's.

It is pretty bad quality, but definetly is better than nothing. This sounds much slower than the version I have.
