Moseley Shoals

Product Information

As I listen to it again, I am hoping that it will reach the heights of musical excellence that I expect of it. It doesn't & they don't. The singles promised so much. The sound was so distinctive. It sounded so different from the other unexceptional, run of the mill, popular music doing the rounds on the British Top 40. DeLuca, Dan (4 August 1996).

Following the huge success of Moseley Shoals, the band’s third album, Marchin’ Already shot to No. 1 in the UK when it released in September 1997. Chart Log UK "Chart Log UK 1994–2010: B – Darren B > David Byrne". zobbel - Dipl.-Bibl.(FH) Tobias Zywietz . Retrieved 5 September 2020. Dingwall, John (5 October 2007). "Amy Macdonald: I Heard Paul Weller Whistling My Song". Daily Record. The Guardian’s Peter Paphides wrote of Marchin’ Already: “From the ominous opening power-chords of ‘Hundred Mile High City’ to the mournful, exhausted conclusion of ‘It’s A Beautiful Thing”, OCS’s third album is not so much an album but a journey, complete with its share of emotional peaks and troughs. Marchin’ Already shows OCS drawing on much wider influences they’re usually given credit for: the band’s mod influences are well-documented, but ‘Foxy’s Folk-Faced’ and ‘Half A Dream Away’ respectively repay some debt to Fairport Convention and The Specials (whose trombonist Rico plays on the latter).” In 1998, Q magazine's readers voted Moseley Shoals the 33rd greatest album of all time. [13] The album was placed at number 42 on Pitchfork's 2017 poll of "The 50 Best Britpop Albums." [14] Moseley Shoals: Deluxe Edition [ edit ]They sounded pretty terrific in 1996. They don't sound so good in 2014; not quite. They were very good, but not good enough. Finally, we have The Collection (2007) a canny mixture of old and new, live and studio with a highlight being their live take on “Day Tripper” from the Electric Ballroom. years on i'm surprised how decent it still sounds. You can hear the small faces,kinks,traffic,fab 4 etc but the singer has a good voice and they can play all right. 'riverboat song' copped them their first break and a big hit from chris evans tv show but the first half of the record matches it in quality. Unleashed on the world on 8th April 1996, the album featured singles in the likes of The Riverboat Song, The Circle and The Day We Caught the Train, but how much do you really know about the album and its creation? And what makes it so iconic? The Day We Caught the Train" (PDF). Music & Media. Vol.13, no.26. 29 June 1996. p.20 . Retrieved 24 July 2020.
