Digitally remastered edition of the British post-punk band's third album, originally released in 1979. 154 peaked at #39 in the UK Albums Chart, the highest position the band has achieved. The album is so named because the band had played 154 gigs in their career at the time of the album's release. Pitchfork listed 154 as 85th best album of the 1970s.

"154" is the third studio album by the influential British post-punk band Wire, released in 1979 and now available as a high-quality LP through Pink Flag / Cargo. This landmark record showcases Wire?s innovative approach to songwriting, blending angular guitar work with atmospheric synths and introspective lyrics. Tracks like "Map Ref. 41°N 93°W," "The 15th," and "A Touching Display" highlight the band's ability to balance experimental soundscapes with memorable melodies. The album has been widely acclaimed for its forward-thinking production and remains a touchstone in alternative music history. Wire, formed in London in 1976, are pioneers of the post-punk movement known for their minimalist yet powerful compositions. Their debut album "Pink Flag" (1977) set new standards for punk experimentation, while follow-ups like "Chairs Missing" (1978) expanded their sonic palette further into art rock territory. Over decades, Wire have influenced countless artists across genres including R.E.M., Blur, and Elastica.
