Home / Punk & New Wave / Pink Flag
A brilliant, minimalist punk debut of short, jagged art-songs. Sharp and influential. Far ahead of its time. The record that established what Wire was about.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
