24 Songs | The Wedding Present

Description

Cover Notes: Throughout 2022, The Wedding Present’s ’24 Songs’ series saw the legendary indie band release two new tracks a month as double A sided 7’s, ultimately creating a much-sought-after box set. David Gedge has now re-curated full-length versions of all twenty-four tracks for a new compilation album that will also comprise five bonus recordings, including one featuring The Wedding Present’s first guitarist, Peter Solowka. ’24 Songs’ was a doff of the cap to The Wedding Present’s ‘Hit Parade’ project of 30 years previous. That series proved to be a real milestone for the band with them becoming only the second-ever artist to achieve twelve Official UK Top 40 hits in a calendar year – at the time something that only Elvis had achieved.
