December 16 [14:00 EDT] -- There is no official word yet, but the Jesus And Mary Chain may be rejoining the label that first signed them, Creation Records.

According to a report in NME, the band left their current label, Blanco Y Negro, where they have been for thirteen years, where they ultimately released of their debut LP, "Psychocandy," in 1985.

Reportedly, Blanco Y Negro were less than happy with the band's follow-up to '95's "Stoned And Dethroned" and requested that the Jesus And Mary Chain rerecord the album. The band refused and decided to amicably move on, perhaps moving back to Creation where they were signed for one year in 1984.

Former Lush bassist, Phil King, has joined the band. And a tour of the UK and a new single will promote the new album, which is tentatively scheduled for an April release.
