Wire - Play The B-Sides (1983)

I've always been a massive fan of Wire, and have all the original albums and 7" singles. Some of those early singles were great songs, but were left off the subsequent album release, so rather than have to dig them out to hear them I thought I collect them all together in one place. To flesh out the album I've added in 'Crazy About Love' from a Peel session, plus the b-sides from its 12" release, and both sides of the 'Our Swimmer' single. The cover is a take-off of the 'Wire Play Pop' album.
