Enter the Vaselines is a compilation album by the indie rock band The Vaselines. The release date is 5 May 2009, on the record label Sub Pop.
The album is a deluxe reissue of their 1992 compilation The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History. Disc one compiles all tracks from their two previous EP's (Son of a Gun (EP) and Dying for It (EP)) and debut LP record (Dum-Dum - their only full-length release before 2010's Sex with an X), in chronological order of release, with the exception of the previously unreleased track "Bitch", which is inserted after what was the fourth track on Dum-Dum. Disc two includes demos and live tracks recorded in Bristol and London. The mixes used of tracks 8-19 on Disc One differ to the mixes used on the original "Dum-Dum" album and the "Way Of The Vaselines" compilation and were remixed by Jamie Watson at Chamber Studios in November 2008.
All songs written and composed by Eugene Kelly/Frances Mckee except "You Think You're a Man" by Geoff Deane and "I Didn't Know I Loved You ('Til I Saw You Rock 'N' Roll)" by Gary Glitter/Mike Leander.
