Wire - 1976 Demo (Bootleg)

Broke my rule about boots to get this rare bit of history...very early, very rough Wire doing a bunch of early tracks and covering...

...Roadrunner.

Now that's something I'd never expect.

Supposedly a rehearsal tape recorded in August 1976 by Nick Garvey (or so says Read & Burn).

WIRE
154
2018 3xCD Remastered Special Edition

Although I don’t buy many CDs, I COULD NOT pass this up today.

An expanded 80 page book edition of the 2006 remaster, with demos, b-sides, and incredible photos, notes and information inside the book.

The single versions, b-sides, and 154 E.P. is where it’s at for me here. It really is an embarrassment of riches all around, and VERY hard to find. I knew if I didn’t snag it, I’d never see it again.

154 is an incredible album, and listening to the demos and extra material is really mind-opening and informative as to how they got there.

WIRE
Pink Flag
2018 Europe reissue

Before I start ripping through all the records I got as gifts this Christmas (which were a lot of #postpunk #punk and #newwave stuff), I have to listen to Pink Flag.

I posted Chairs Missing yesterday, and for me, I can’t listen to either of the first two Wire records without doing the other. They’re BOTH so badass and timeless, and I’ve heard both SO many times, they kind of play like one really long record in my head.

When we need to stretch out our live sets, “Ex Lion Tamer” is still a go-to.

Such a killer album.

Jukebox Friday Night is in the ring on Boxing Day, December 26th, and running the numbers with the theme "Counting Down".

Songs or music with numbers or countdowns.

Stretching a little to get an oldie but a goodie into the playlist:
"How's it with you? What's your form?
Your outline, shape, or form
How's your price? What do you cost?
Your value, profit, or loss …"

Counting, more than counting down … but implying a numerical quantity …

Wire, "Drill" (1986; bonus track on 1987's "The Ideal Copy")
