In celebration of record store day, Captured Tracks is releasing two classic, hard to find singles by highly influential Scottish post-punk band, The Wake. These two releases book-end the 80’s for the band, as their privately released On Our Honeymoon 7″ on Scan in 1982 was their first (and only) pre-Factory record, while Crush the Flowers 7″ is their final release in the 80’s (1989) and their first post-Factory record for the illustrious Sarah label.

In conjunction with those two releases, Captured Tracks is offer a tribute white vinyl 7″ featuring faithful and well-crafted Wake-approved covers of two classic songs by two Captured Tracks artists, Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing, available direct from the label’s site or participating stores. The bundle of all three 7″ records will come with reproduced buttons of The Wake.
