CD version of 2003 LP compilation with edited tracks from SEND and READ & BURN 1 & 2! Following their 1990's hiatus Wire reformed in 1999 and after setting up their own pinkflag imprint, between 2001-2003 released five distinct Wire items: Twelve Times You (vpf3; 7in vinyl).

Read & Burn 01 (pf4; CD EP) / Read & Burn 02 (pf5; CD EP) / Send (pf6; CD album) / PF456 Redux (pf456 redux; 12in vinyl album).

Following the 2 Read & Burn CD Eps Wire released the full length album Send, combining some tracks from both Read & Burn EPs and four unreleased pieces.

Since none of the tracks had previously been issued on vinyl, a creative solution was sought to include all of the tracks from Send and the two Read & Burn EPs on one singgle LP.

This was achieved by some quite brutal edits! Thus the title PF456 Redux is both catalogue number and descriptor of the process.

Meanwhile the full lenght tracks have found their ultimate vinyl expression as PF456 DELUXE for this year's RSD.

Born as much of creative curiosity as necessity, the original limited vinyl item remains nonetheless a curio.

So it is now perhaps fitting that PF456REDUX finds its new home as a limited CD release also, maybe even more a curio, but still the barest 2001-2003 Wire in its most condenst form.
