In early 1996, The Wedding Present released Mini on Cooking Vinyl Records.\u003cp\u003eMini - a 6-track EP - featured songs all of which had motoring connections. Almost thirty years later, David Gedge has revisited the concept! Maxi again features six tracks, all with titles referencing driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased via Clue Records, Maxi arrives swiftly after the release of 40 - a commemorative reflection of The Wedding Present's complex and fascinating catalogue across a four-vinyl and\/or four-CD box set, with the compilation's final track being `Hot Wheels' - a track from Maxi now too, plus five more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Maxi follows the same concept as Mini, the 2025 model of The Wedding Present's vehicle is discernibly grander.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis really is The Wedding Present at their creative best, pushing both the boundaries of their sound and the expectations of the listener, while the lyrics provocatively paint pictures in a way that only David Gedge can manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"As I said in my sleeve notes for 40, the songs we recorded for Maxi were written relatively quickly because I had felt particularly inspired, both lyrically - with situations occurring in my life - and musically - writing with the then recently-arrived Rachael.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting tracks feel bigger and moodier than we've had fora while_ and they're certainly feistier, thanks to The Wedding Present's new rock queen and her armoury of guitars and pedals!\" (David Gedge) Black or ltd clear red 12\"-Super Sound-Single-Vinyl-EP!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58181767201142,"sku":"0760137206330","price":21.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_40861175.jpg?v=1782817906","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0760137206330-maxi","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
