Some Friendly

can it really be twenty years ago that the charlatans furtively and then confidently appeared in the stone roses and happy mondays' slipstream to carve their own distinctive, tough, psychedelic soundtrack for those brief, heady years when manchester was the centre of the world? from that auspicious start they experienced career highs and lows, broadened their musical base and endured to become one of the era's most respected and successful bands. this 2 disc expanded edition includes 'some friendly' restored to its original vinyl sequence plus a second disc of the non-album singles and previously unreleased bbc sessions. it includes the uk top 10 single (and perennial classic) 'the only one i know', the follow-up, 'then', and the 'over rising' ep. all tracks have been re-mastered from the original analogue studio masters (except the bbc recordings). the set also includes a 20 page book with notes by the author john robb.
