The Wedding Present - Radio 1 Sessions CDS

Not strictly a single, I guess, but it's by a great band, and it has four tracks on a CD. Good enough for me.

Three Gedge tracks, and a Gang Of Four cover, and in proper collectors' style the CD comes with very precise details of original broadcast (although, strangely, not which show the session was for. Peel?)

Recorded 20th April 1986, broadcast 15th May 1986. And here's to Barry Andrews and Ted De Bono, who produced and engineered this session. Hope they're still doing it!

Nice choice of songs on this, which I'm sure you know. And the cover's great! If you don't know them then this is a good introduction to the band, the early stuff at least. Then try Cinerema. And they're back together, so you can go and watch them too.

  1. Great EP, I still have this on vinyl (somewhere...) Not sure it was a Peel broadcast though, that would have been released as a specific 'Peel Session'. The Evening Session might have been presented by Mark Goodier or Janice Long back then.

    Saw the Weddoes in November (although granted, it's only Gedge from this lineup, but then they were always his band, no matter who else was a member). They played the entire 'Seasmonsters' album, some old classics and several tracks from their new one. He's still got it, make no mistake.
