Pink Flag
Label:
4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
4M 508LP
"Originally released on Harvest in 1977,
Pink Flag
is perhaps the most original debut album to come out of the first wave of British punk. Exhibiting severe art school damage, Wire careens at breakneck speed through 21 songs in 36 minutes to create an album that has influenced bands for nearly thirty years. Original artwork. 180 gram audiophile vinyl."

Title:
Chairs Missing
Label:
4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
4M 509LP
"With its Eno-esque synth textures,
Chairs Missing
has been often cited as the evolutionary link between punk and post-punk. In general, the lyrics are darker than those on
Pink Flag
, even morbid at times; images of cold, drowning, pain, and suicide haunt the record, and the title itself is a reference to mental instability. Originally released in 1978 and now available for the first time on 180 gram audiophile vinyl. Original artwork."

Title:
154
Label:
4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
4M 510LP
"If
Chairs Missing
is the transition album from punk to post-punk,
154
is definitely of the latter genre. Synth moves to the forefront on this 1979 third album from Wire along with melodies that help humanize the electronic textures. Named for the number of gigs the band had played to that point,
154
shows how far this band had come in three years over three albums. Original artwork. First time on 180 gram audiophile vinyl."

Title:
Red Barked Tree
Label:
PINK FLAG (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$16.50
Catalog #:
PF 018CD
"At a time when back catalogue outsells fresh creativity and newcomers achieve fame by adding a lick of paint to their parents' record collections, it's unusual to find a band who, despite plying their trade for decades, are willing and able to make new work that's as vital and relevant as their own illustrious past recordings. Wire are such a band, and with
Red Barked Tree
they have succeeded in making a statement that will sound as strong in 30 years as their celebrated historical oeuvre does today.
Red Barked Tree
rekindles a lyricism sometimes absent from Wire's previous work and reconnects with the live energy of performance, harnessed and channelled from extensive touring over the past few years.
Red Barked Tree
was conceived, written and recorded mostly during 2010 by the pared-down lineup of Colin Newman, Graham Lewis and Robert Grey -- with no guests. Ranging from the hymnal 'Adapt' to the barking sledgehammer art-punk of 'Two Minutes', the album encompasses the full range of style and nuance that has always endeared Wire to pastel-tinged pop aficionados and bleeding-edge avant-rockers alike."
