Tommy is a compilation album by The Wedding Present, originally released in 1988, collecting songs from the band’s first four singles, plus four tracks recorded for BBC Radio sessions.

Bringing together material written in the band’s first two years of existence, Tommy proved that The Wedding Present’s essence was in place from the start. These kinetic blasts of homespun high-velocity bedsit drama presaged the more finessed George Best, but represented the band’s definitive portrayal.

The 3CD + DVD Expanded Edition includes the original album, bonus tracks, BBC sessions and live material plus promo and live videos, TV appearances & a new acoustic performance of ‘My Favourite Dress’
