On June 24, pinkflag will officially release Not About To Die by Wire, which was originally released by "Amnesia Records" as a bootleg in the early 1980s. The recording features demos for Chairs Missing and 154, Wire's second and third albums. The recordings were intended for employees at EMI and not public release at the time.
Colin Newman says, via press release: "The LP version was initially a Record Store Day release and we do like to support independent record shops. We also appreciate that RSD does not cover all retail, not everyone wants to consume the music on vinyl and that indeed not everyone can get to a record shop. So this release is for everyone else!"
The release will also mark the first time that Not About To Die has been available on vinyl.
The band has shared a video for "Stepping Off Too Quick."
