The Wedding Present / The Hit Parade 30th anniversary reissue

Sony are to reissue The Wedding Present’s The Hit Parade album(s) on vinyl and CD in September.

During 1992, the band issued a limited edition single every month (something they have been doing this year as well). Each single featured an original track on the A-side and a cover on the B-side. At the time you could buy a limited box to keep all your singles in.

CD reissues followed around a decade later and there have been various vinyl iterations over the years (including an RSD quadruple 10″ vinyl set in 2016).

Now a newly artworked 2LP vinyl set and a 2CD editions will be issued, with both featuring all 24 songs. The vinyl package actually comes with the two CDs as a freebie bonus, which is probably better than a download code. Waiting for more 2CD pre-order links to come through, but you can pre-order at Rough Trade in the UK.

The Hit Parade will be released on 23 September 2022 (was 2 September), via Sony Music.
