The Siddeleys were a short lived but an incredibly influential band. They released just two singles and a number of tracks on various compilations. I am not going to write about the history of the band when they do it themselves here.The majority of their output including Peel Sessions was collated on the Slum Clearance compilation released in 2001 jointly between Clarendon Records and the Matinee label.
1987's single What Went Wrong This Time turned up on the CD86 compilation released last year. My Favourite Wet Wednesday Afternoon was one of the b-sides.
