The Way of The Vaselines: A Complete History cover art

Released internationally after Kurt Cobain frequently championed them as his favorite songwriters, this retrospective gathers everything recorded by the obscure Scottish duo during their brief initial existence. The Vaselines' music is characterized by highly amateurish instrumentation and a deceptively sweet approach to gleefully vulgar, sexually explicit lyrics. The compilation formalized their legacy, positioning them as massively influential architects of 1990s lo-fi and twee pop.
