Bizarro is the second studio album by The Wedding Present. It was released in October 1989 by their record label, RCA.
The Wedding Present's second studio album--and first "proper" album for RCA--came soon after the Ukrainian John Peel Sessions / Українські Виступи в Івана Піла folk music side project.
Technically speaking, only one single was taken from the album, "Kennedy", which provided the band with their first Top 40 hit, reaching #33. In early 1990, The Wedding Present re-recorded "Brassneck" with Steve Albini, which reached #24 in the UK charts. The single and its B-sides were later included on U.S. release of the album, and are also included on the Singles 1989-1991 compilation. A remastered CD version, released by BMG Camden in 2001, also features the B-sides of the "Kennedy" single, including a cover version of the Tom Jones hit "It's Not Unusual".
All tracks written by David Gedge (unless otherwise noted).
