Enter the Vaselines


Enter the Vaselines is a compilation album by the indie rock band The Vaselines, released on 5 May 2009 through the record label Sub Pop.
The album is a deluxe reissue of their 1992 compilation The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History. Disc one compiles all tracks from their two previous EP's and debut LP record, in chronological order of release, with the exception of the previously unreleased track "Bitch", which is inserted after what was the fourth track on Dum-Dum. Disc two includes demos and live tracks recorded in Bristol in December 1986 and London in June 1988. The mixes used of tracks 8–19 on disc one differ to the mixes used on the original Dum-Dum album and The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History compilation, having been remixed by Jamie Watson at Chamber Studios in November 2008.
