I am copying/pasting this initial blurb from the previous MBV Oldies post:
----
My Bloody Valentine were one of those bands that managed to create a sound that became a genre. They seemingly changed the DNA of music with thier layered guitar playing and hushed, lilting vocals. I came to them with the release of the Tremelo EP in 1991. Back in the seemingly halcyon record shop days people who worked there would see a young kid and get to know what they were into and build a relationship with them. I'd walk in and they'd be like "oh, I've go some goodies for you!" and they'd walk around the shop picking out 4 or 5 records for you based on their interpretation of your tatse. This is how I was introduced to MBV and Tremelo. Anyway, they are mostly known for this period of their musical life. The You Made Me Realise EP => Feed Me With Your Kiss EP => Isn't Anything => Glider EP => Tremelo EP => Loveless run was kind of an unreal series of releases. Each release moved more in this pyschedelic direction until you had the absolutely perfect album: Loveless.

This is the 2nd incarnation of My Bloody Valentine. They dropped their initial gothic post-punk sound for a much more indie pop sound.
I used three (of four) songs from the EP The New Record By My Bloody Valentine and all four songs from the follow up EP Sunny Sundae Smile. Both releases had the lineup: David Conway – vocals; Kevin Shields – guitar; Debbie Googe – bass; Colm Ó Cíosóig – drums. I followed this up using two (of three) songs from their non album single Strawberry Wine which was the first release to feature Bilinda Butcher after the departure of original vocalist David Conway. I used six (of seven) songs from the mini-LP Ecstasy . Both release featured the lineup: Kevin Shields – vocals, guitar; Bilinda Butcher – vocals, guitar; Debbie Googe – bass; Colm Ó Cíosóig – drums. By the way I found this really interesting article that interviewed Conway about his time in the band and eventual departure. You can read it here!
