One For The Road collates various live performances from 2004 with two new songs and a loving interpretation of the Small Faces “Wham Bam Thank You Mam”.A few months later I am in town to spend a bit of birthday money, and there at the front of Virgin MegaStore was Moseley Shoals, despite the fact that it had been out for nearly six months by that point. Yeah, they were another Britpop band, but these guys were getting a big promo-push through festival season. Hundred Mile High City, which is taken from the band's third studio album Marchin' Already also scored a No.4. White, Adam (1 November 1997).

Marchin' Already, the follow-up to Moseley Shoals, went to No.1 in the UK Albums Chart, [4] displacing Oasis' Be Here Now at the top of the charts in 1997. In 1998 they headlined their own arena tour in support of Marchin' Already and played three sold out nights at Stirling Castle, Scotland. The first single taken from the album was " The Riverboat Song", which was popularised by Chris Evans on TFI Friday. " The Day We Caught the Train" reached number four in the charts, with "You've Got It Bad" and "The Circle" also reaching the top 10. "One for the Road" was also due to be released, but the band decided to concentrate on the 1997 album release Marchin' Already. By November 1997, Moseley Shoals had sold over 1.2 million copies worldwide. [12]

Ocean Colour Scene: the band whose chief crime was being too

In 2014 a special edition of Marchin' Already was released on a 2 CD edition and a special deluxe 4 disc box set which included a DVD of their live performance at Stirling Castle in 1998. Early 2015 saw the band celebrate their 25th anniversary with some acoustic concerts around the UK. They released a double CD live album which was recorded at the Manchester concert on the tour.

On the quirkily titled A Hyperactive Workout for the Flying Squad OCS were forced to replace Minchella and the other three came up with the goods, aside from covering George Harrison’s “Wah Wah”(from his All Things Must Pass masterpiece) and Keith Anderson’s “My Time”. Another strong disc, this contains “Free My Name”, which restored them to the charts while the production skills of Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Idlewild, Kylie Minogue) kept them honest and fresh.

Dolly the Sheep was born, leading to global debate about the ethics of cloning. The Spice Girls released Wannabe, leading to global debate about who wanted to be Baby Spice. England got to the semi-finals of the European Championships, still their best performance in half a century. And a band from the Birmingham suburb of Moseley reached the top 10 with an album that combined cord-clad 60s nostalgia and northern soul influences with robust, melodic Britpop songcraft.

Damon Minchella". Line6.com. Archived from the original on 11 March 2008 . Retrieved 22 April 2008. Thing is, over time I fell out of love with Moseley Shoals and Ocean Colour Scene as a whole. It wasn’t that they weren’t good at what they did, it was just that there were outside factors. While it was well known that they had had their career resurrected by Noel Gallagher hawking their demo tapes around every record company desperate to sign up any white boy guitar-toting four piece, the fact that they were more than happy to play a second sycophantic fiddle to a lesser act despite being musically much more diverse and infinitely more talented was a real shame. In April, 2016, the album was re-released as part of the Record Store Day celebrations, on limited edition red vinyl, charting at No.5 on the vinyl album chart.

Recommendations

Alongside Marchin' Already and One from the Modern, Moseley Shoals is an album that belongs in every serious Britpop collection. One of the better Britpop releases by a band that isn't one of the genre's "Big Four". Marchin’ Already confirmed their arrival as a major force with more original classics in the shape of “Hundred Mile High City”, “Better Day”, “Traveller’s Tune” and “It’s a Beautiful Thing” – the latter pair featuring P.P. Arnold and exuding a heady whiff of Northern Soul. Again we’d point you to their Deluxe and even Super Deluxe editions where their prolific but high-quality output can be heard spread across 3-CDs/DVD in the latter case, including live sets at Manchester Apollo and Stirling Castle. One from the Modern was released in 1999, and peaked in the UK Albums Chart at No.4. The record spawned three top 40 singles, " Profit in Peace", " So Low" and " July". [4]
