Wipers: Wipers Tour 84 12"
Wipers âTour 84â features tracks from the first three Wipers albums. Recorded live on tour in February - March 1984. Originally released on cassette by Greg Sage and on vinyl by Enigma Records in 1985.
- First Time Reissued On Vinyl
- Included 3 Wipers songs unavailable anywhere else
- Pressed at RTI for Maximum Fidelity
- Cover artwork features the iconic Wipers logo
Our take: You might have missed it because it came out this past Friday, the day before Record Store Day, but Jackpot just reissued the Wipersâ Tour â84 album. These recordings originally came out as a very limited cassette on Greg Sageâs Trap Records, then were released as an LP on Enigma Records in 1985 (that version just features the Wipersâ logo on the cover, so sometimes this album is also referred to as self-titled). While Restless / Enigma released the Wipersâ next few albums, they had released none of the bandâs previous three records, which most fans regard as the most essential Wipers records. Since Restless / Enigma was a bigger label, for a long time I saw copies of this record in used bins way more often than the Wipersâ actual first three albums. I wonder how many people picked up Tour â84 as their first Wipers record, particularly after Kurt Cobain repped the band? I think this album is great, but it shows a different side of the band than the first three albums (which, thanks to various reissues and streaming, are now easily available). Those three albums have a sense of precision that isnât as present here. The early recordings arenât super polished, but they feel very locked in and precisely performed. By contrast, these live recordings find the band in a looser, more visceral mode. I love the albums, but I love this side of the band too. I think Iâve read that Greg Sage is a big Jimi Hendrix fan, and you hear that on these live versions. The fidelity is great (it says Greg Sage mixed them, so they must be multi-track recordings), and even better there are three songs that werenât on any of the Wipersâ studio albums. Theyâre pretty cool and worth hearing, though, âMoon Riderâ bears more than a passing resemblance to âRomeo.â This no-frills reissue doesnât even have an insert, but itâs on pretty pink vinyl and it sounds great. Youâll want the first three Wipers albums before you pick this up, but if youâve digested those, Tour â84 is an essential piece of the Wipers puzzle.
