Great Record, Bad Remaster

"I love this record. And I am also a big fan of remastered re-releases (Bowie, Roxie, etc.), but I was disappointed in the sound of this remaster. My Import version sounds MUCH better...a lot more raw, more vital, better definition between instruments. This sounds like a lot of compression, and not much more. Buy this record, but don't re-buy it for a better experience like I did."

Classic Jangle Pop

"The album that got me hooked on the WP about 15 years ago.

Great jangly power pop with caustic lyrics primarily about being betrayed in love.

Not as much fuzz and distortion as soon of the later albums like Seamonsters and Bizzaro (which are equally brilliant, but in slightly different ways).

Some really classic songs that I never get tired of after years of listening.

I have the album on vinyl but after years of playing (and not enough TLC), it's too scratched. I think I'll buy the CD simply to have this album last a lifetime and to get the extra tracks.

If you even remotely like the WP, thisis a great album to own and love for years."

The Wedding Present at their Raw Best

"What can be said, this album has it all, catchy tunes,a touch of every style of music that matters and the sound of David Gedge laughing when he fluffs his big whistling line in the opener. One of my favorite albums of all time!"
