Cover Notes: Following the departure of Wire's drummer Robert Grey in 1990 Wir had risen phoenix like from the ashes of the acclaimed UK post-punk band after and were created to fulfil the final phase of Wire's Mute Records contract. With a more sequence based sound, Wir saw the band breaking all their own rules by creating a new sparse electronic music with Graham Lewis singing most of the vocals and even cannibalising their own catalogue by sometimes sampling their own older material. Wir was, however, not a long-term project and besides completing their only album, 'The First Letter', their only other activities were a very small number of gigs and two multi-artist 'conceptual happenings' under the name I Saw You.

Extras: Former 2025 Record Store Day release.
