Wigwam – Nuclear Nightclub (1975) [2CD Reissue 2018] (Re-up)

This expanded reissue, released to celebrate Wigwam’s 50 years of existence, comes in gatefold covers and with new interviews with the band members and manager. The second disc features the previously completely unreleased live set from Swedish national radio, recorded slightly before the studio sessions for Nuclear Nightclub took place.
When Finnish band Wigwam signed with England’s Virgin label in 1974, it was an indication they wanted international success, and Nuclear Nightclub, the first fruit, showed they’d changed enough to hopefully achieve it. This album highlights the wonderfully idiosyncratic songs from the pen of keyboard player/vocalist Jim Pembroke, backed up with some superb, tight musicianship. The band toned down the extended pieces and instrumentals that had featured heavily on its previous albums in favor of new work like “Freddie Are You Ready” (more catchiness) and “Save My Money and My Name,” while the playing on “Do or Die” highlighted the chops without the tedium. In many ways they allied themselves to the British Canterbury Scene, especially Caravan, with a strong sense of the absurd, a good sense of the pop songs – choruses always featured heavily – and a deftness and lightness of touch that was never more in evidence than on this record.
