Remastered from original source material under the watchful eye of one David Gedge, this re-issue contains the original Bizarro album.
Pressed on 180g vinyl with newly design sleeve and inner bag, that respectfully retain the heritage of the original design.
‘Bizarro’ was the bands first proper album for RCA. They had signed to the label and earlier that year (1989) has released the trio of Ukrai- nian John Peel Sessions they had recorded for the BBC. So this was the follow up to that historic debut album ‘George Best’.
The album was produced by the same production team led by Chris Allinson, as was the ‘Kennedy EP, but the Brassneck EP was the start of a long relationship David l Gedge would have with Steve Albini.
Bizarro sounds a lot tougher than George Best, which had probably more to do with an increased recording budget. Lyrically, Gedge still chronicles the same tales of lust, love, jealousy and revenge, but is a lot more mature about it, while musically the band sounds much tighter and experimental, often ending songs in Velvet Underground-like ex- tended rhythm guitar workouts.
Technically speaking, only one single was taken from the album, “Ken- nedy”, which provided the band with their first Top 40 hit, reaching #33.
In early 1990, The Wedding Present re-recorded “Brassneck” with Steve Albini, which reached #24 in the UK charts. The single and its B-sides were later included on U.S. release of the album, and are also included on the Singles 1989-1991 compilation.
