20 live tracks from the pop oddballs recorded in 2005 now on vinyl!

Plugged In captures The Wedding Present at their energetic, guitar-driven best--an essential 22-track retrospective showcasing the band's evolution from raw indie beginnings to their polished yet impassioned later years. Fronted by David Gedge, one of alternative rock's most distinctive songwriters, the compilation delivers a dynamic journey through the group's extensive catalog, featuring career-defining singles, fan favorites, and rare gems that highlight the emotional honesty and jangly intensity that made them a cornerstone of the UK indie scene.

From the punchy urgency of 'Corduroy' and 'Blue Eyes' to the anthemic 'Come Play With Me' (a Top 10 hit in 1992) and the bittersweet 'Loveslave,' the collection underscores the band's unique ability to balance heartfelt storytelling with driving, melodic power. Each track is charged with The Wedding Present's trademark mix of tension, wit, and unfiltered emotion--qualities that influenced countless indie and alternative acts that followed.

Plugged In stands as both a perfect introduction for new listeners and an indispensable addition for longtime fans. The release includes an insert with detailed sleeve notes, offering context behind the songs and insight into one of Britain's most enduring and influential guitar bands.
