SHIPPING POLICY

We offer FREE shipping on orders of $100 or more. All media orders (vinyl/CD/cassette) will ship via USPS media mail. Please be aware that we cannot provide free multiple shipments for a single order, so if your order includes pre-order items, the entire order will be held until all items are in stock and ready to be shipped.

Your tracking information usually updates within 24-72 hours. Once your order departs from our facility, we no longer have control over it. For assistance with missing packages, kindly reach out to your local post office branch. Please note that we are not responsible for stolen packages and are not able to refund you for your purchase if your package was stolen after delivery. Shipping times may vary.


FREE IN-STORE PICKUP

If you are local, we offer FREE in-store pickup on online orders.  Please note, however, that using Apple Pay at checkout will auto-fill a shipping charge and will not allow you the option to choose free in-store pickup. In other words, if you wish to choose free in-store pickup at checkout, you must checkout without using an accelerated payment method like Apple Pay.

Released at the end of the initial period of Wire's 3rd act - after Send and before the band's post-Bruce Gilbert re-invention - Read & Burn 03 never quite got the attention it deserved. However the opening track 23 Years Too Late, with it's tour narrative text and motorik rhythm stands as one of the band's finest achievements of any era in the view of both core fans & the band (a rare point of agreement!) The original EP, 3rd in the Read & Burn series and the one not compiled on to the Send album, was the last non-historic release by the original Wire line up of Colin Newman, Graham Lewis, Bruce Gilbert & Robert Grey and has never been properly released on vinyl. The 2026 version brings the original 4 tracks and adds 3 more. While some of the tracks originated as part of the 2021-2022 sessions that gave forth Send, others have a more storied history. 23 Years Too Late actually started life as a highly transformed cover of the 70's Wire single Dot Dash - performed under the name Dip Flash as part of Iain Sinclair's London Orbital, a night at the Barbican London on 25th October 2022, celebrating London's M25 motorway (AKA The Orbital). The never previously released piece in it's original form is included as an additional track. Meanwhile Desert Diving actually started life as a version of the Chairs Missing track Heartbeat as performed live at the Garage, London during Wire's series of concerts there in May 2000. The original version of Our Time and an alternate mix of Desert Diving are the other additional tracks.
