[342] The 6ths - Wasps' Nest (LP)

On first release in 1995 the only vinyl release of Wasps’ Nest was a box set containing four seven inch EPs with all the tracks (and one bonus one) across them. Mean-ness and my full embrace of CD media meant that I didn’t buy that but bought the CD that I’ve already posted about, In 2017 Captured Tracks released the album on an LP - this is that.

The LP came in white vinyl and sadly didn’t include the extra track it did howver have a larger booklet than the CD which meant that it could include the artist self-portraits that had been included in the box set but were missing from the CD package. Some were lovely and detailed, some were realistic, some were cartoon-y, some minimalist, some impressionist… and then there was Dean’s:

I think I said before how much I love this album and it really is a very beautiful thing, and doesn’t have a dud on it!
