Description
"The time is right for Wire, right now. Welcome them again, they've come back to save you." - Artrocker.
"Object 47 is the perfect length; short, to the point, and boasting some of Wire's most vitaI music." - The Observer.
"As the positive reviews for Wire's new album continue to appear, Pinkflag are responding to huge demand from the band's global fanbase with this special edition LP version. Pressed on 160g vinyl, the CD artwork has been adapted to incorporate an inner picture bag with full lyrics, and also included in the widespine jacket is an exclusive 160g vinyl pressing of 2007's 'Read And Burn 03' EP, which will not be made available separately. In the 5 years since the release of their last album 'Send', Wire have expounded, reviewed, contracted, lain dormant, recovered, expanded and through all that have shed an old skin and grown a new one. 'Send' itself was a jolt to the senses which saw the epithet "Seminal Art-Punks" become a compulsory inclusion in reviews and introduced Wire to a huge new (and younger) audience in addition to their already devoted followers. Over the next two years a series of archive releases helped to broaden the critically-prevelant view that Wire are one of the most important alternative rock groups of the last three decades, a theory which was consolidated as accepted wisdom with the spring 2006 reissues of their brilliant trio of late-70s albums. Yet as countless contemporary indie heroes-in-waiting lined up to cite vintage Wire as a major influence, the group were already planning their next phase of action. Wire in 2008 is not the same as it was before but then Wire is never the same as it was before. 'Object 47' - the 47th physical object in Wire's discography - is nonetheless only the group's 11th studio album. It is the second product of an arc of work begun in 2006, and stands as a confident statement of where Wire are in 2008, as ever facing forward. Retaining their characteristically idiosyncratic mix of an avant?garde mindset with classic pop timing, 'Object 47' is less angular and startlingly explosive than the output of the 'Send' period, heading in a comparatively more melodic direction, yet still dedicated to an innovative and uncompromised approach. Created by the same Lewis & Newman writing partnership responsible for the 21 staccato pop punches of their 1977 'Pink Flag' debut, this new album boasts what the group call "tunes with zoom", a unique formula that somehow manages to sound wholly Wire (in a classic sense) and wholly contemporary. Accurately summed up by Uncut's assertion that Wire's continued relevance "says as much about their endless creative reinvention as our own acceptance of balding art school punks."" - Boomkat.
This is the Wire "Object 47" lp and "Read & Burn 03 E.P." 12" double record set released by Pink Flag Records in 2008.
The set features thirteen tracks across two records. The records are packaged in a card picture sleeve with one black card inner sleeve and one full-colour printed card inner sleeve. The records are brand new, have never been played and the shrinkwrap on the sleeve has only been opened at one side to allow access to the records by the shop I bought it from for security purposes. The only reason I haven't listed this item as "new" is that eBay stupidly insists that items given that category are still sealed, but this records not shrinkwrap has been opened at one side. This item would make a welcome addition to any Wire/ Colin Newman/ Magazine/ Gang Of Four/ This Heat/ The Pop Group/ The Fall/ Public Image Ltd/ post-punk/ new wave/ etc fan's collection!Buy with confidence: If you purchase an item from me that has a fault then please get in touch by sending a message and I will do everything within my power to rectify the situation.
