Wire – Send Ultimate

Description

Send Ultimate is an archaeology of Wire in the studio between 2000 and 2003, as the band worked on new music for the first time in a decade. This retooled edition of Send gives fresh insight into an exciting chapter for Wire, by expanding the frame around the album and providing a larger context with rare and previously unheard material.

This includes both sides of the “12 Times U” vinyl-only collectors’ item (the “12XU” remixes that catalysed Wire’s Send-era burst of creativity); unreleased curiosities such as “DJ Fuckoff,” an exercise in hyperkinetic dancefloor lunacy; alternate versions of numbers originating in this period that subsequently appeared on 2007’s Read & Burn 03; and the tracks from the first two (out-of-print) Read & Burn EPs that were omitted from the original Send.
