I got into the Wedding Present around the time the Albini remixes came out after Bizarro.  Sea Monsters, which Albini recorded came out after that and I bought it as a $20+ CD import.  They had Wedded themselves to the American Independent Revolution, "Box Elder Mo" by Pavement was the other part of it.  

Prior to  Bizarro I had lumped them in with import Brit-pop that I didn't want to shell out $15 an import for on vinyl.   Too twee fer me then, although I opened up to that stuff later in life.  I cared enough about the Wedding Present in 1992 to actively purchase when they launched their  single-a-month series, which was ultimately compiled on the Hit Parade compilations.  I bought this one (the second) and the third, but ultimately gave up on the vinyl until the compilations came out and bought the CD's later in the decade.  I had really liked the 1994 Watusi cd and saw that tour at Tramps in NYC.  As the years passed I would buy a release here and there to check in-Take Fountain comes to mind- but I would say 1990-1995 was my peak fan phase for the Weddos.

As for this particular single, I bought it, played it and filed it away, maybe bringing it to WERS for a spin or two since I was on there that semester before graduating Emerson.  The B-side is a Neil Young cover from Zuma, which was a favorite Neil album for me around that time.
