Pink Flag (CD & Book)

Wire's debut album. The band's first three albums (Pink Flag, Chairs Missing and 154) need no introduction. They are the three classic albums on which Wire's reputation is based.

Moreover, they are the recordings that minted the post-punk form. This was adopted by other bands, but Wire were there first.

This version is a definitive re-release. It is presented as an 80-page hardback book - the size of a 7-inch, but obviously much thicker. After a special introduction by Jon Savage, Graham Duff provides insight into each track. These texts include recording details, brand-new interviews with band members, and lyrics.

This stunning set of presentations also includes a range of images from the archive of Annette Green. Wire's official photographer during this period, Green also shot the covers for Pink Flag and Chairs Missing. Promotional and informal imagery - in colour and black and white - is featured throughout the book. Most of the photographs have not been seen for 40 years - and many have never been published anywhere before.
