Blinding EP

I bought this because I heard the song Sedative and I loved it, couldn't get it out of my head. So I ordered this and it is great. If you like Babyshambles then you should add this to your collection. Has a great sound and is well worth the money.

Peter Doherty and Babyshambles are amazing! I love their music and have ALL their albums. Peter is an exelent writer and singer. Listen to some of his music and you will be hooked !!

Probably the best collation put out by Babyshambles. Sharp, tight, well-produced. Good stuff.

A more focused (who said sober?) affair. So it turns out Mick Jones was the one who needed help? And Pete's just one of your assembly line enablers whose also damn handy with a tune? Sold!

Buy it and listen. This is the latest from one of the best bands around.

This five-song 2006 follow-up EP to the band’s sporadically brilliant debut album Down In Albion shows Doherty’s band in consistent form – clearer and crisper sound (though I’m not sure that’s the point for a Doherty band) and retaining a healthy level of diversity (much like the predecessor album). At the more 'conventional’ ('Libertines-like’) end of the musical spectrum are the title track opener, the most violent assault on the senses here, powerful riff and tight rhythm, whilst likewise, Beg, Steal Or Borrow gives us one of those unmistakeable opening Doherty guitar melodies (not quite in the league of the recent Nothing Comes To Nothing, but hey) – with a trademark bum note intro, plus a fantastically anarchic harmonica solo.Elsewhere, Doherty mixes up the rhythm (as he has done quite successfully before on songs such as the recent reggae-inspired Dr No), trying his hand this time at ska on the lively and (mostly) infectious I Wish. Then, although the songs here are lyrically relatively uninteresting by Doherty standards, the man conjures up a nicely ironic take on the 'teen romance magazine’ generation in Love You But You’re Green ('I was a troubled teen who put an advert in a magazine to the annoyance of my imaginary lover’) to a nicely subtle background melody and some floating, idiosyncratic vocals, whilst the closing Sedative also provides a somewhat fresh take on the man’s infamy in a plea for remission in the form of the outdoors and the 'morning sun’, all to another infectious melody.In the wake of last year’s stonking Sequel To The Prequel, The Blinding is another Babyshambles collection worth revisiting.

Possibly their finest moment. First time i heard these tunes on Youtube i thought, 'meh', but on repeated playing they are all absolutely first class. Recorded after 'Down in Albion' and before 'Shotters Nation' i believe, this ep must have come as quite a shock to those who had written Pete off. As good as anything on Shotters Nation then, and showcasing the influence of The Smiths & late 80's Shoegazing indie i would say, oh and a bit of ska.

Nice little EP

Everything o.k., Record in a very good condition. TX!

Best Babyshambles album by far. Love this CD!
