David Gedge wrote "You Should Always Keep in Touch with Your Friends" on his own, and the Wedding Present put it out in 1986 with Gedge singing lead and sharing the electric guitars with Peter Solowka. Keith Gregory plays bass and Shaun Charman drums, and that's the full credited lineup: two guitars, bass, drums and a voice.

Mick Wilcojc produced it, with Mike Robinson engineering, and the credits list no guests at all, just the four of them. It's a title that reads like a scribbled note to an old mate, attached to a band with nothing between them and the listener but their amplifiers.
