The next single from The Wedding Present was released on 7 December 2018.
It was actually featured previously, and just a few weeks ago, as part of strangeway‘s fabulous series on Cinerama. Here’s a reminder of what he said:-
“Closing (almost) this Cinerama series is a cover, and another split single. On one side you’ll find Cinerama’s take on The Name of the Game. And, yes, it’s the ABBA song. It’s an OK listen, if kind of inoffensive.

The Name of the Game was released by Where It’s At Is Where You Are, a label whose seven-seven-inch-singles-a-year club, which launched in 2012, ended as planned in 2018, this release closing the project.
Of more interest is the flipside. There you’ll find a cover of the Clash’s White Riot. As fast and manic as the original, it’s not however by Cinerama. It’s by a band named The Wedding Present.

The next release was for Record Store Day on 13 April 2019. Those of you who have been following the series closely will know that TWP had previous in this regard, with three 10″ EPs featuring songs song in languages other than English.
The 2019 release was a variation on this theme, as it was a 7″ single featuring two tracks that had been recorded for John Peel sessions back in 1987 and 1988.

Yup…..from the sessions when the band recorded songs in Ukranian.

THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN 
Thanks for the series JC, which has given me a good start to my Sunday for almost a year now. Wedding Present are especially great when they cover songs or integrate Ukrainian folk music into their sound, as they did at the Peel Session.
