(1992)


The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History is a compilation album by the rock band The Vaselines. The album was released May 1, 1992, by the record label Sub Pop.

The band had broken up two years before the album was released and had never gained a huge following. However, covers of their songs by Nirvana had brought new exposure to the band. This exposure prompted Sub Pop to put together this compilation of previous releases by the band.

The song "Molly's Lips" was named in tribute to Molly Weir, a well known and much loved Scottish Television personality.
