The Wedding Present - Marc Riley Sessions Volume 5 - Vinyl

The Wedding Present return with the fifth volume in their critically-acclaimed series of Marc Riley Sessions.

“This fifth volume in our series of live recordings made for Marc Riley’s BBC Radio 
programme is particularly interesting because – with sessions from 2019 and 2023 – it straddles not only the COVID pandemic but also our 24 Songs series. 
For the latter we re-enacted the ‘twelve singles in a year’ idea that The Wedding Present had first used in 1992 for the Hit Parade. So, on this record, you can hear both early versions of songs that went on to be released as singles, together with later versions of songs that had already been released! It’s also notable for hearing us have a go at two cover versions – Magazine’s ‘A Song From Under The Floorboards’ and Low’s ‘Canada’ – together with a version of our own ‘Sports Car’ where I relinquish control over the lead vocal for once.” - David Gedge
