Comments and Reviews


Magic Marmalade 28th Feb 2021		Review One of the best albums of the nineties... and getting better with age! Some albums seem to make a fair old noise at the time of release, being definitive of their time, while others are not so firmly rooted in their era. ...These last, such as this one, don't date, or age as badly, and tend to improve with each listen. Listening closely, the odd thing about how this album achieves this, in that there are relatively few working parts in it's construction... ...And it is most definitely a "constructed" record. What strikes the ear more than anything, is that over and above the basic drums, and bass, and vocals, it's mostly a collection of short (very short) passages, phrases, stabs, and hooks, all tied together in the production, with a bit over here on the left channel, some over there on the right, a little in the middle distance, and a few bits in the middle to hold it all together. Not so much guitar pyrotechnics, as acrobatics.... pieces of guitar in different effects peddles and so on, cast about, strewn, and popping up all over. All of which creates an effect of having more in there than is actually the case, and a very dynamic listen. The same is true of the drumming too, which doesn't settle too much on one constant pattern, but is full of energetic fills and punctuation. And all of this goes on over around some exceptionally well written, classic (almost standard) feeling songs, with bags of hooks, melodies, and tunes. Not a track to skip, and you find yourself, not only humming vocals that have gotten stuck in your head, but guitar parts too. Extraordinary album, and one the ten best of the nineties for me. There is, however, one fatal flaw, in that those of us who would exchange a nut for a vinyl copy of this (OK, a bit of extreme... but then, I didn't say it would be my nut! :D ) would have to accept the whole two disc affair - one single album across two discs - which I really do not like! - One disc please!!!... So, until such a single disc vinyl is issued (never going to happen, I know), then the CD is all you need... it would be your best purchase of the year! 9 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



Quad5point1 SUBS 7th Feb 2019		Barcode for this should be 600406000828 and not 6004060000828, correction submitted. Fixed (mod.edit)

Magic Marmalade 4th Apr 2015		Hmmm... It would seem, logically, that what has happened is that the initial press was in the UK, and for the UK market, then production either moved to Europe, for the whole European market (perhaps success of the album dictated this?), or production was kept in UK, but for supply across Europe, and the cat number had to be supplimented for some reason. One possibility is that European rules for businesses, and/or commercial arrangements of the producers (labels merged, bought out, otherwise altered) at that time changed, in which case, it would not be unusual to find the same degree of variation on other releases by other artists from this time, and would confirm this. If not, then something bizarre and unique has happened to this particular title. (I did have kind of the same odd variation with an item I added by Ray Lamontagne: Trouble... another subtly altered cat number is listed on another entry of that title in this database, and my Mighty Rearranger by Robert Plant has the same problem, although both of these releases are much later - this century - ). Could also be a form of the old contract pressing arrangements they used to have with vinyl issues, whereby if demand takes off, or the new artist (or newly successful artist), and more are required, then production is automatically shifted to a larger plant (?), and new cat number applied if necessary.



plocky45 4th Apr 2015		Just found another copy - booklet rear variation added (without the centre logo). A rear cover image of the first version shown also added, this time with the spine detail. The spine shows both logos, so that the one common cat. no. for these versions is MCD 60008, which is also the only logo on the discs. I would therefore suggest that MCD 60008 should be the primary cat. no. followed by 060 008-2.



plocky45 4th Apr 2015		Produced by Brendan Lynch and Ocean Colour Scene Recorded at Moseley Shoals Studio, Birmingham Booklet rear, tray insert and alternative rear cover image added. On this version the only cat. no. is MCD 60008. There is a difference to the wording at the top left hand of the rear cover and no alternative cat. no. present.



Graham7 31st Mar 2015		Added postcard, which gives us a UK release date.



Magic Marmalade 31st Mar 2015		Well spotted Captain. Mine is the same as yours, and I think that in spite of the same barcode and majority cat number, the statement of manufacture origin on the lead listing here being EC, and yours (and mine) being UK manufacture and distribution distinguishes them as separate issues... The addition of the -2 on the cat makes this so I believe, and would suggest that the country for this listing ought to be changed to Europe, and a separate listing created for the UK one. (Another interesting point, as a result of having examined mine agin beacuse of your comment, is that the UK one has no label code anywhere on the CD... either the disc, covers, or inside the booklet. Very odd.)



Quad5point1 SUBS 30th Mar 2015		Added scans for my copy. 1st run UK copy with different CD Hub info and wording on top left of CD Tray Insert + Catalogue No is MCD60008. The other one listed here has Made in EC which should designate it as Europe. Any thoughts guys ???
