The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History is a compilation album by the indie rock band The Vaselines, released May 1992 on Sub Pop Records, catalogue SP145b. The album compiles every previous release by the band, the two EP's Son of A Gun and Dying For It, as well as their first long-playing album Dum-Dum, in chronological order of release. Three additional tracks are included are "Dying for It (The Blues)", "Let's Get Ugly", and the previously unreleased "Bitch." The band had broken up around the time that Dum-Dum was issued, and had never gained a huge following. However, covers of their songs by Nirvana had brought them new exposure, which prompted Sub Pop to put together this compilation. The song "Molly's Lips" was named in tribute to Molly Weir, a well-known Scottish television personality. Production credits are to The Vaselines in collaboration with Stephan Pastel on the tracks from Son of A Gun and Dying for It, and with Jamie Watson on the remainder.
