The Hit Parade (180g Remastered 2LP) (BLACK/WHITE vinyl)

Vinyl Rock 2015
The Wedding Present sind eine britische Indie-Rock-Gruppe, die 1985 in Leeds gegründet wurde. Ihre Musik hat sich aus dem schnell gespielten Indie-Rock der „C86-Szene“ zu einem immer vielseitigeren Klang entwickelt. Neben dem Sänger und Hauptsongschreiber David Gedge hatte die Band im Laufe der Zeit viele wechselnde Mitglieder. For the first time presented on one double album, each of the 12 singles released in 1992 with its accompanying B side. Remastered and pressed on 180g vinyl (disc 1-BLACK, disc 2-WHITE) and each in a newly designed inner bag and packaged in a heavyweight outer sleeve. Back the hey days of the explosion of the British indie rock scene, David Gedges Wedding Present were amongst the pioneers. Fast paced and obviously influenced by The Fall, Buzzcocks and Gang Of Four the much heralded 1987 debut George Best was released on their own Reception label. After the early singles and radio sessions were compiled and released as Tommy and the follow up Ukrainian album, the band signed to RCA and released their major labels debut album Bizarro and Seamonsters. Then instead of 'that difficult third album' they took the unusual step in 1992 of releasing one limited edition single a month. This had never been done before by any band, only the legendary Elvis Presley, so it was a brave step. But this was the Wedding Present and under Gedges leadership the plan was a great success. The A side for each single would be an original composition and the B side a cover version, which gave the band the opportunity to put their unique stamp on songs and experiment with some very interesting choices. They took on Isaac Hayes 'Theme From Shaft', David Bowies 'Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family' from his Ziggy inspired Diamond Dogs album. And also looked to the more commercial pop material of Altered Images 'Think That It Might' and Bow Wow Wows 'Go Wild In The Country'. Each were given the Gedge treatment that Melody Maker once described as equivalent to 'sandpapering your ears'. All time favorites of sadly departed Radio 1 DJ John Peel they never seemed to be out of the BBC Studios' in Maida Vale. With the resulting sessions being a bonus disc on the original vinyl pressings of the subsequent albums Hit Parade 1 and Hit Parade 2.
