Furniture is British new wave band active between 1979 and 1991, but were far more eclectic than you039d think, incorporating jazz,blues and postpunk sounds as well. They are noted both for their poetic storytelling and highquality productions as for thenumerous setbacks they experienced. These setbacks ultimately prevented them from making their big break, makingthem a big whatif of the burgeoning English new wave scene.Although active since the late 70s, it039s their 1986 debut album The Wrong People giving them their commercial breakthrough.It was supported by the single 34Brilliant Mind34 which eventually reached 21 on the UK Singles Chart.They followed it up with a rerecording of their 1984 single 34Love Your Shoes34. Although a radio hit, it ultimately failed to chart as not enough copies were pressed to match demand. The album ultimately suffered from the same fate whichmeans there are not a lot of copies floating around. In recent years it became a cult classic so we thought it would befitting 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.
