About
1985–1990: The A List is a compilation album by Wire. It was released on 18 May 1993. It comprises recordings by the band from 1985 to 1990 and is seen as the band's second "best of", complimenting 1989's On Returning (1977–1979), the "best of" album for the first era of the band. As the back cover states, the track listing was decided by asking various compilers to name their "Top 21" Wire tracks from the 1985–1990 era in order of preference, which were then arranged on a "football league" basis. The final chosen tracks and running order are based on this chart and the maximum running time of a compact disc, with no edits to songs.
