Record is brand new and has never been played.

The Wedding Present have had eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles...not bad for a band that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry’s game. In 1985 David Lewis Gedge boarded a National Express coach in London with 500 records packed into a pair of his mother’s suitcases and, in this fashion, the band’s debut single "Go Out And Get 'Em Boy!" was delivered to the distribution company and The Wedding Present was born.  That pioneering spirit has been at the core of the band’s philosophy ever since. From George Best, the first full-length release on their own Reception Records onwards, the band has charted an appealing, if often eccentric, course of its very own. With their early releases The Wedding Present had acquired a reputation for bittersweet, breathtakingly honest love songs immersed in whirlwind guitars, so it was extraordinary that Ukrainski Vistupi V Johna Peela, with the band exploring traditional Eastern European folk music, should be their major label debut on RCA.  However, this was soon followed by the more traditionally incendiary Bizarro which featured the band's first hit single, "Kennedy." In 2010 The Wedding Present celebrated the 21st Anniversary of the release of their Bizzaro LP by playing the album live on tour throughout Europe, North America and Japan. Bizzaro has now been remastered from the original source material and pressed on 180g vinyl under the watchful eye of David Gedge.  .
