The Charlatans UK- Some Friendly (Full Album)

[@bryanmcdonald7178]

This is the greatest album, top to bottom, no filler, that no one's ever heard of. I came across this band by accident when their album was released. I was at a nightclub and won free tickets from the DJ to a Charlatans UK concert gig at the Warfield in SF (this was when I was in college, way back in February, 1991). I didn't know who they were but took my girlfriend to the concert anyway. I remember it was like a scene from one of those 60s pysechedilc films, with the colored water blobs that move around like they're alive projected on the walls as they sang. But mostly I remember being blown away by the music. I bought the Some Friendly cassette from their souvenir stand and listened to it on the drive home. I ended up wearing that tape out. What a great album.

One of my favourite albums as an awkward 16 year old Northerner in 1990. Had an incredible connection with their music but never saw them live until last night...... they played a local festival supporting Paul Weller and were absolutely outstanding with some similar visuals to your 91 gig! Legendary stuff

[@scooby1235]

everyone that was an 'indi-kid' has herd of it - and in the UK they are simple known as the charlatans - they added the 'UK', Quote, in Burgess own words, "to disassociate ourselves from a bunch of no hopers" there's some American outfit also called the charlatans... they are from Northwich, which is a small town just outside Manchester - 1st. single, Indian rope, 2nd. the only one I know 3rd. Then. Then, they released, Some Friendly - 2nd album. then they released 'In between 10th and 11th'. this is the original line up - the original drummer died in a car crash.

[@happentodie8776]

I battered this lp ...listened to it daily for months on it's release ..that year 1990 was a special time for good music...every now qnd then ill go back and listen to it like today ..with my old ass 😒

Best 90s album.. listened then and still listening now 2022. Bang tidy

[@williamremel8654]

13:36 I’m blown away that these guys are just stepped over !!!!!!! This is one of the most influential bands ever .

[@anotheropinion8638]

It’s not underrated. The Only One I Know has always been one of my very favorite 90s tunes. No contest. And the rest of the album coasts on the same retro mod vibe. Five stars.

Life's a bag of revels, I'm looking for the orange one ! So many memories with this album and all come flooding back with every listen. Must have listened to this a thousand times on a battered cassette walkman as a young teen in 1990. Not one bad tune on it - they were so tight ! Love them all, but could personally listen to "Then" all day long.

[@timportz]

Haven't listened to this album in over 20 years. I hadn't realized how much "The Only One I Know" borrowed from Deep Purple's "Hush".

[@rileyrosswalker]

Always have loved this band - super underappreciated.

[@williamremel8654]

This touches my soul so much ... I just don’t understand that more people don’t feel this vibe ???? I break down listening to this band ......Is there something wrong with me or is it everyone else ?

[@jenniferskye246]

You have good taste, thats the deal. They are so unique, they have such an original sound. I mean, have you ever heard of another band that incorporates the Hammond organ like they do and it jams so nicely?! Of course you havent. Even the lyrics, dont get me started! ❤️ haha

I was singing in a band in Boston when I heard this and the Stone Roses. Changed my style of singing .

[@scottbartlett4853]

Ian Brown live is horrible. I do love the ethereal vocal that runs atop the keys and guitar. Live though these guys are just so flat it's embarrassing.

I used to fall asleep to this album when I was in my 20's. Also Suede.

1990 as I recall one of the most fun years of my life, so much change going on in music, great to live in a free country to be 20 years old and healthy these tunes etched in my DNA/ brain even though starting to go senile now.

[@tazbt]

Absolutely best band I've seen live at Kilburn ballroom, back in the day they had only been together a year and them doves made it such a summer of love ❤️

Masterpiece

[@michaelconnolly7681]

This record is phenomenal. I loved it when it came out and occasionally i listen to it in its entirety because its the kind of record that is such a pleasure to listen to in its entirety. Its definitely one of the best records of the 90s and in my view one of the best ever. There's so much wonderful things to say about it.

[@bengrimshaw4811]

Last 4 choruses of Not Very Well are EPIC. Oasis, Blur, Inspirals, Roses all had something in common. They didn't have Rob Collins writing their songs, playing ridiculously good organ riffs and amazing backing vocals.

[@cwmapp]

I'm seeing them live again in Brisbane (Australia) on 13th Oct (3 weeks away).

tough call... both are awesome... Tim Burgess absolutely kills it on vocals whereas Ian Brown is famously a tuneless boob as a vocalist... Ian Brown can write a mighty fine song tho.

[@jenniferskye246]

@@williamremel8654 Thanks Willam! I couldn’t agree more as I have been listening to them since Some Friendly came out and when videos aired on 120 Minutes, back when MTV was actually a music channel. It’s nostalgia for me and definitely what you say about emotional as well as they take me back to my teenage years. I happened to meet them in 2006 and whenever they come to town it’s such a treat as they are all such amazingly talented, hilarious and top gentlemen. They are so good live, have you seen them live?

[@bryanmcdonald7178]

@@jenniferskye246 i saw them live in February of 1991, in San Francisco. As great as their Some Friendly album is, their live concert was even better. They bring so much energy when they play that you can feel it in the air, like electricity. I've literally seen hundreds of bands in concert in my life, but their gig still ranks as one of the best.

[@jenniferskye246]
