After losing contact for a while and sorting out a housing issue, the band regrouped and settled in London. Tina had left in the chaos, and Debbie Googe was brought aboard as bassist. They released an EP on Fever Records, ''Geek!'', in December 1985, but this did not bring the anticipated reaction. However, they persisted and signed to Kaleidoscope Records. Here they released two more EPs, ''The New Record by My Bloody Valentine'' (1986) and ''Sunny Sundae Smile'' (1987). Soon they built up a small following through regular live gigs. Dave Conway left the band in 1987 from dissatisfaction. After a tortuous audition process<ref>Shields mentioned making the "mistake" of saying in their ads that they liked [[The Smiths]], adding "You should've seen some of the fruitballs we got!"</ref>, the band hired Bilinda Butcher as a vocalist and secondary guitarist, who appeared on two new EPs, ''Strawberry Wine'' and ''Ecstasy'' (1987). The band finally settled down after years of false starts and EPs with a stable lineup and a new home at Creation Records.
