LAST PRESSING OF 250 COPIES

Released on 3x10inch disc and featuring brand new heavyweight sleeve and inner bag art.

The box set includes the full album plus it accompanying EP's; Dalliance, 3 Songs EP and Lovenest. Produced by Steve Albini the set features newly designed sleeves and inner bags plus sleeve notes by Dr Stella Creasy MP.

Remastered, as was Bizarro, under the watchful eye of David Gedge.

Seamonsters is the third studio album by English indie band The Wedding Present. It was recorded in ten days in 1991 by American producer Steve Albini at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

Albini had previously recorded two EPs with the group, Brassneck and 3 Songs and, like those records, Seamonsters has a rougher, harsher overall sound than the group’s earlier two albums.

In deliberate contrast to the full sentences featured on previous record- ings—something for which the group had often been parodied within the music press—all of the songs on Seamonsters have one-word titles.

The album enjoyed a strongly positive critical reception. Hailed as a classic at the time, it had stood up to many imitators and is one of the bands most lauded pieces of work.

Massive guitars and feedback galore, David Gedge still writes about love, lust and love lost, but the lyrics are accompanied by a wall of sound, intimate and overpowering.

Guitarist Peter Solowka was sacked between the recording and release of the album, replaced by Paul Dorrington.

Throughout 2012 The Wedding Present played their third studio album, ‘Seamonsters‘ live, in its entirety.
