Career-spanning 40th Anniversary Compilation released.

On September 19 2025, CLUE Records released ‘40’, a chronological, aural journey of The Wedding Present's album tracks, singles and B-sides. Frosted clear quadruple vinyl box sets and quadruple CD box sets are available for now, with free shipping to the UK and the rest of Europe.

Four decades on, and with 13 studio albums, 20 compilation albums and a whole host of

singles, EPs, live albums and radio sessions – with more on the horizon – The Wedding

Present : 40 is a commemorative reflection of this complex and fascinating catalogue.

The stunning artwork has been put together by Jonathan Hitchen – who designed many of the

band’s original record covers – and there are extensive sleeve notes by David Gedge himself

along with esteemed music writer Mark Beaumont [NME, Guardian, Independent]. Gedge’s

commentary provides a unique insight into the workings of the band and an absorbing track-by-

track guide to the compilation [full song list below].

The compilation is available now on either frosted clear quadruple vinyl or a quadruple CD box set. As a pre-order bonus, CLUE Records are currently offering free shipping to the UK and the rest of Europe for a limited time.
