In celebration of our favorite holiday (Record Store Day!) our pals at Captured Tracks have just told us they’re releasing two classic, hard to find singles by highly influential Scottish post-punk band, The Wake.
These two releases book-end the 80′s for the band, as their privately released On Our Honeymoon 7″ on Scan in 1982 was their first (and only) pre-Factory record, while Crush the Flowersis their final release in the 80′s (1989) and their first post-Factory record for the illustrious Sarah label.
In conjunction with those two releases, Captured Tracks is also offering a tribute white vinyl 7″ featuring faithful and well-crafted Wake-approved covers of two classic songs by two C/T artists, Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing.
Only 1,000 of each 7″ will be pressed. Of those 1,000, there will be an offering of 300 bundles which will have all three 7″s packaged together. The bundle of all three 7″ records will come with reproduced buttons of The Wake. Neat stuff, right?
