Secret Records releases this Live – Greatest Hits CD+DVD set (recorded at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire) to coincide with the British Indie rock band's ‘Hit Parade’ 21st Anniversary UK Tour.
Known for their quirky humour, distinct guitar pop frenzy and singer/remaining founding member Peter Gedge's idiosyncratic vocal style and wittily lyrics – The Wedding Present have always been a unique band.
Having gained great praise from much of the UK press, including legendary DJ John Peel, their first four albums all performed well on the charts – ‘George Best’ (UK #47), ‘Bizarro’ (UK #22), ‘Seamonsters’ (UK #13) and ‘Watusi’ (UK #47). At the height of their popularity The Wedding Present had a run of twelve top-30 singles in twelve months, equalling a record set previously by Elvis Presley. The band have gone on to establish and maintain a world-wide fan-base through their infectious live shows and a consistently high-quality output of music.
As the band celebrate their 21st anniversary of their successful Greatest Hits album ‘The Hit Parade’ with a world tour, Secret Records issues the CD/DVD live set ‘Plugged In’, featuring their most famous and loved songs captured during a raucous set at London's Shepherds Bush Empire. Featuring hits such as ‘Nobody's Twisting Your Arm’ (UK #46), ‘Kennedy’ (UK #33), ‘Blue Eyes’ (UK #26), ‘Three’ (UK #14), ‘Come Play With Me’ (UK #10) and many more – this is the definitive live set for any WP fan. Also included on the DVD is an interview with the band and additional behind the scenes tour footage.
Enjoy as a fantastic live experience of one of Britain's most eclectic and unique bands!
