When the Charlatans emerged with “The Only One I Know” in 1991, there were countless bands similar to them, but they immediately catapulted to the forefront of the Madchester scene, standing alongside such icons as The Stone Roses and the Happy Mondays. They had such success because they not only could ride the groove, like so many Madchester bands, but they could also write great songs, drawing partially from the 60s-saturated Roses and the Rolling Stones. These were the gifts that made them among the greatest British survivors of their time, roll- ing through tragedy and stylistic changes to amass a terrific little body of work – one that was modern enough to play in clubs but classicist enough to stand the test of time. “Based in Manchester, England — home of the neo-psychedelic music scene that spawned the Inspiral Carpets — the Charlatans blanket lush organ chords over guitars that crackle and swirl in Some Friendly. These current college-radio favorites capture the moodiness of a lot of late- ’60s rock and, on their better cuts — ”White Shirt,” ”Polar Bear” — the shimmering buoyancy of that era’s pop. B+ – ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “The Only One I Know remains a classic and performs the near-impos- sible trick of sounding as good today as any of the Roses’ singles ever did – right down to a stinging guitar solo. Some Friendly was an awe- some first album establishing the band as their own men.” – RECORD COLLECTOR “One Of The UK’s most enduring bands” – THE GUARDIAN “…revisiting ‘Some Friendly’ turns out to be the best evidence that, whether anyone realised it at the time or not, the Charlatans were thor- oughly versed in being enduring, and endearing, from the off.” – THE QUIETUS
