Digitally remastered edition of the British post-punk band s second album, originally released in 1978. Chairs Missing peaked at #48 in the UK Albums Chart. Although it features some of the minimalist punk rock of the band s debut Pink Flag, it features more developed song structure (taking some cues from 1970s prog-rock, psychedelia, and art rock), keyboard and synthesizer elements brought in by producer Mike Thorne, and a broader palette of emotional and intellectual subject matter. The single Outdoor Miner was a minor hit, peaking at !51 in the UK Singles Chart. 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 track listings to their vinyl counterparts. These versions should be considered Wire s classic 1970s albums, pure and undiluted.
