As with previous volumes, The Wire Tapper 21, which has been compiled by Shane Woolman, Lisa Blanning and Andy Tait, will contain a range of new, rare or exclusive tracks from across the spectrum of the kind of underground/outsider musics covered in the zine. Packaged in a heavy duty card sleeve designed by The Wire's art director Ben Weaver, the CD will be given away free with every copy of the April issue worldwide."
