Immediately after the split, William Reid went solo as [[Lazycame]]—having already released a solo EP in April 1998—and Jim Reid founded [[Freeheat]] along with Lurie and ex-[[The Gun Club|Gun Club]] bassist Romi Mori and [[Earl Brutus]] drummer [[Nick Sanderson (musician)|Nick Sanderson]], although neither act received much attention or found any success. In October 2005, it was announced that the Reids were reunited; Jim Reid's track "Song for a Secret" a duet with his wife Julie Barber, was released as a single, paired up with Sister Vanilla's "Can't Stop The Rock", which was written and produced by William and the brothers' younger sibling, Linda. The single was released by Transistor Records on 17 October. Jim promoted his side of the single with a very rare solo gig at London's Sonic Cathedral club on John Peel Day, Thursday 13 October 2005. He finished the appearance with a performance of the early Mary Chain classic "Never Understand". Jim also performed new material at low-key gigs with a new band comprising Phil King on guitar, [[Loz Colbert]] ([[Ride (band)|Ride]]) on drums and bassist [[Mark Crozer]] (International Jetsetters).

In 2006 five albums were reissued through [[Rhino Records]]: ''Psychocandy'', ''Darklands'', ''Automatic'', ''Honey's Dead'' and ''Stoned & Dethroned'' on 11 July 2006. Each album was released with a DVD containing three promo videos from that particular album.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/news/jesus-and-mary-chain/23031 |title=The Jesus And Mary Chain get reissued |work=NME |access-date=11 July 2012}}</ref>
