The Wedding Present To Release Career-spanning 40th Anniversary Compilation

On September 19, CLUE Records will release ‘40’, a chronological, aural journey of The Wedding Present's album tracks, singles and B-sides. Frosted clear quadruple vinyl and quadruple CD box sets are available for pre-order now, with free shipping to the UK and 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 track list below].

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