WIRE
"Chairs Missing"
(UK) Harvest SHSP 4092
1978
Original first pressing of this incredibly strong LP. Wire did some world shaking in their time and changed the playing field for punk, art punk and post punk. This copy is in beautiful shape. The disc has never been played and the cover is excellent. A fine copy for the Wire collector, the Colin Newman
Here's what Wikipedia says: " Wire are an English rock band, formed in London in October 1976 by Colin Newman (vocals, guitar), Graham Lewis (bass, vocals), Bruce Gilbert (guitar), and Robert Gotobed (drums). They were originally associated with the punk rock scene, appearing on The Roxy London WC2 album – a key early document of the scene – and were later central to the development of post-punk. Inspired by the burgeoning UK punk scene, Wire are often cited as one of the more important rock groups of the 1970s and 1980s. Critic Stewart Mason wrote, "Over their brilliant first three albums, Wire expanded the sonic boundaries of not just punk, but rock music in general." Wire are a definitive art punk and post-punk ensemble, mostly due to their richly detailed and atmospheric sound, often obscure lyrical themes, and, to a lesser extent, their Situationist political stance. The group exhibited a steady development from an early raucous punk style (1977's Pink Flag) to a more complex, structured sound involving increased use of guitar effects and synthesizers (1978's Chairs Missing and 1979's 154). The band gained a reputation for experimenting with song arrangements throughout its career."
KILLER LP for Brit first wave punk collectors. Yah-hooo!! Oh, also, if you are a buyer from the US, the domestic postage is gonna save you some cash.
Stored vertically in a smoke free environment for 38 years.
