Digitally remastered edition. Pink Flag is the debut studio album by English band Wire. It was released in November 1977, through Harvest Records. Though the album failed to chart on it s initial release, it has been widely acclaimed and is considered by critics and other commentators to have been highly influential on many other musicians since it s release. Wire s first three albums need no introduction. They are the three classic albums on which Wire s reputation is based. Moreover, they are the recordings that minted the post-punk form. This was adopted by other bands, but Wire were there first. The digipack CDs have identical tracklistings to their vinyl counterparts. These versions should be considered Wire s classic 1970s albums, pure and undiluted.
