Riding on a crest of late 60s retro rock, this band have received a disproportionate dollop of criticism since their considerable success with this, their second album. Revealing influences ranging from 10CC and the Idle Race ('The Day We Caught The Train') to the Love Affair and Beatles ('The Circle'), the derivative nature of this record is nevertheless highly palatable. Even a Randy Newman soundalike rears up in 'Lining Your Pockets' and Eric Clapton's Disraeli Gears wah-wah guitar can also be found liberally sprinkled throughout ('The Riverboat Song', 'Policeman & Pirates'). A necessary album for anyone with a magpie complex.
Recorded at Moseley Shoals Studio, Birmingham, England. Includes liner notes by Brendan Lynch.
Producers: Brendan Lynch, Ocean Colour Scene.
Personnel: Steve Cradock (vocals, guitar, piano); Simon Fowler (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica); Oscar Harrison (vocals, piano, drums); Paul Weller (guitar, piano, organ, background vocals); Damon Minchella (bass guitar).
not bad This was good most of the way, but I thought the last song was overkill. There's some sound effects also near the end probably from producer Paul Weller since they sound like they're from his first solo album that I didn't appreciate. But it's mostly a good album that I wish had a better ending. Submitted by a reviewer (florence alabama) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Greatest Ever Album Well What can I say? This album inspired me into playing the guitar. I would give my right kidney to meet the band and the left to play as well as Steve Craddock. I've only just got on the net so if any body would like to send me an Email thingy please do so.
