Yesterday’s offering involved a lot of reading. I’ll go a bit easier on you today.
mp3: Wire – Fragile
Track 6 on Side B of Pink Flag, the debut album from Wire, released in November 1977.
Took me a few years to discover the brilliance of Wire, and they are another act that became a byproduct of my university years of 1981-85. As has often been said by many, Pink Flag has proved to be one of the best, most original and most influential albums of the era despite selling abysmally on release, failing to crack even the Top 100.
Quite a few of its songs have been covered, including Fragile.
From the 2009 album, Varshons.
