"Almost Gold" was the third single the Jesus and Mary Chain pulled from Honey's Dead, the Scottish band's fourth studio album, and Blanco y Negro put it out in June 1992. Jim and William Reid wrote it, and it's William on the vocal, with Steve Monti on drums and Alan Moulder engineering.
It stalled at number 41 on the UK singles chart, but the single carried something extra for the faithful: live tracks the BBC taped at the Sheffield Arena that May.
