Product Information :

• Limited edition release of only 350 copies

• Black vinyl only [red vinyl has sold out]

• Hand-numbered sleeves

• Exclusive sleeve design by Darren Hayman

• Side A was recorded live in Buxton, England, in 2025 and is taken from the forthcoming Live 2025 album

In 2019, Formosa Punk Records released The Wedding Present’s ‘Jump In, The Water’s Fine’ single in Japan. The sleeve featured a painting of the Saturn V space rocket by our friend Darren Hayman which has now inspired the band to release a follow-up science-fiction-themed themed 7” for the label.

Coupling a live version of ‘Flying Saucer’ and a remix of ‘Science Fiction’, this new single comes in yet another stunning Darren-designed sleeve!

Limited to just 350 hand-numbered copies, the single will be available from the band at concerts in the UK and from this website.

It will also be available from the Formosa Punk Records Bandcamp page from 6 November for customers in the EU. [Formosa Punk say: “Sorry, we are unable to ship to anywhere outside of the EU.”]
