30th anniversary 2 CD remastered reissue
Originally released in 1978, 'Wise After The Event' has now been remastered from the original master tapes by Simon Heyworth, and includes the non-album track ‘Squirrel’ as an extra track on disc one
The extra CD includes no less than 64 minutes of variations, demos and alternate versions of the songs from the album, including some unique new mixes made from the original multitrack masters especially for this release. The edited single version of ‘We're All As We Lie’ (which has not previously been available on CD) is also included
The extra CD charts the album’s progression from the home demo recordings of ‘Birdsong’, ‘Moonshooter’ and ‘Greenhouse’ (the latter also including co-writer Jeremy Gilbert), through the rehearsal sessions for the album at Michael Giles' studio in Dorset (the three demo tracks from these sessions highlighting the outstanding rhythm section of Michael and John G. Perry) to the final studio recordings at Essex Studios and The Farmyard
This reissue also features new liner notes with contributions from producer Rupert Hine, bass player John G. Perry and cover artist Peter Cross, together with Ant's own memories of the album
