Product Description

Digitally remastered edition of the British post-punk bands third album, originally released in 1979. 154 peaked at #39 in the UK Albums Chart, the highest position the band has achieved. The album is so named because the band had played 154 gigs in their career at the time of the album's release. Pitchfork listed 154 as 85th best album of the 1970s. Wire's first three albums 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. The digipack CDs have identical tracklistings to their vinyl counterparts. These versions should be considered Wire's classic 1970s albums, pure and undiluted.

This 3rd and final release from phase on...

投稿日:2006/04/28 (金)

This 3rd and final release from phase one of one of Britain’s finest post-punk groups is a classic. Concluding the EMI years with this, their most well-rounded recording, Wire were to call it quits until their rebirth and a move to Mute Records in the 80s and 90s. Now, with Chairs Missing and Pink Flag, in paper sleeve!

またまた進化。そして深化!「ロックじゃなければ、なんでもいい」という発言の意味は!?1st、2nd、3rdを通して聴けばわかる!わからなくてもいい!だってパンクだから!ロマンチック♪再発盤のタイロウ氏(原爆オナニーズ)の話も素敵。

彼らのナイーブさは、さらに内省的な方向へ。メランコリックだが独自のオルターネイティブサウンドを築いた名作。ジャケットデザインも素晴らしい。
