First vinyl reissue since its initial release in 1986

40th anniversary edition on orange coloured vinyl
Furniture is British new wave band active between 1979 and 1991, but were far more eclectic than you'd think, incorporating jazz,
blues and post-punk sounds as well. They are noted both for their poetic storytelling and high-quality productions as for the
numerous setbacks they experienced. These setbacks ultimately prevented them from making their big break, making
them a big what-if of the burgeoning English new wave scene.
Although active since the late 70s, it's their 1986 debut album The Wrong People giving them their commercial breakthrough.
It was supported by the single "Brilliant Mind" which eventually reached #21 on the UK Singles Chart.
They followed it up with a re-recording of their 1984 single "Love Your Shoes". Although a radio hit, it ultimately f
ailed to chart as not enough copies were pressed to match demand. The album ultimately suffered from the same fate which
means there are not a lot of copies floating around. In recent years it became a cult classic so we thought it would be
fitting to reissue it on vinyl for the first time since its initial release in 1986.
The Wrong People is available as a 40th anniversary edition on orange coloured vinyl and includes an insert with lyrics.
