THE WEDDING PRESENT – MAXI (Repress) – 10” EP – Blue Vinyl [MAR 20]

Description

10” EP – Limited Edition Blue Vinyl Repress (2026).

Released via Clue Records, Maxi arrives swiftly after the release of 40 a commemorative reflection of The Wedding Presents complex and fascinating
catalogue across four-vinyl and four-CD formats, with the compilations final track being Hot Wheels a track from Maxi.

Although Maxi follows the sameconcept as Mini, the 2025 model of The Wedding Presents vehicle is discernibly grander. This really is The Wedding Present at their creative best, pushingboth the boundaries of their sound and the expectations of the listener, while the lyrics provocatively paint pictures in a way that only David Gedge can
manage.

As I said in my sleeve notes for 40, the songs we recorded for Maxi were written relatively quickly because I had felt particularly inspired, both lyrically with situations occurring in my life and musically writing with the then recently-arrived Rachael. The resulting tracks feel bigger and moodier than wevehad for a while and theyre certainly feistier, thanks to The Wedding Presents new rock queen and her armoury of guitars and pedals! (David Gedge, The Wedding Present)

“The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’ era. You may dispute this, but I’m right and you’re wrong!”- John Peel
