Special Offer Wedding Present – 24 Songs (W/Dvd) (Limited Edition)– Josey Records

Description

Throughout 2022, The Wedding Present’s ’24 Songs”series saw the legendary indie band release two new tracks a month as double A sided 7s, ultimately creating a much-sought-after box set. David Gedge has now re-curated full-length versions of all twenty-four tracks for a new compilation album that will also comprise five bonus recordings including one featuring The Wedding Present’s first guitarist, Peter Solowka. ’24 Songs”was a doff of the cap to The Wedding Present’s ‘Hit Parade”project of 30 years previous. That series proved to be a real milestone for the band with them becoming only the second-ever artist to achieve twelve Official UK Top 40 hits in a calendar year – at the time something that only Elvis had achieved! David Gedge says: When it came to compiling the ’24 Songs”album, I decided not to sequence the tracks in chronological order. With six sides of vinyl, you have six ‘beginnings”and six ‘ends”to play with, and I felt that the opportunity to build some kind of a musical journey was too good to miss! Listening back to this collection, I have to say that I genuinely believe that, for this project, The Wedding Present have recorded some of the best tracks in our history. I loved releasing the singles, but it’s satisfying to have them all rounded up together.
