The Young Offenders - Once Upon A Time In The Nineties (Full Album)

[@Willy_Elres]

Thanks so much for sharing this - I've been waiting about twenty years for this album! Back in the day I made up an album from the EPs that I listened to all of the time, loved it! Pleased to see so many great "new" songs here. The album I put together had this track listing: That's Why We Lose Control Science Fiction Pink & Blue Special Light Out Of My Hair Man Of The World Get Laid With The Young Offenders Rock Stars Remote Control It was a MiniDisc masterpiece, I played the hell out of it, and now it finally has a full-blown counterpart. What a shame these guys got shelved by the record company (assuming that's what happened). I remember a scathing review of, I think, the Pink & Blue single, and I remember the overwhelming feeling I had of wanting to punch the NME idiot who wrote it; that review possibly even played a part in what happened. Thanks again, you've more than made my day, this is brilliant to finally hear.

Bad timing for the band IMO. They were still being lumped in with Britpop at a time when Britpop was on it's last leg. I'm guessing the lack of success for the Warm Jets also had something to do with it as they had a similar sound. Shame. Agree. A really interesting band!

I did the same re making an album with the singles/EP's - so glad I found the album at this late stage

Thanks for sharing! I found Simple Kid after 1 was released but sought out the Young Offenders EPs and couldn't wait to hear this. I love it!

Yes this is amazing! Looked online for a leak of this for years. Bought all the singles when they came out...and then they disappeared!

[@moonuk]

Wow @ last this album has turned up... Thsnk you.

A genius album, so disappointed that the band didn't get what they deserved.

[@davideldridge4241]

Yep had been looking for this album for ages found it last year on you tube but missing tracks. I have all the singles. B side 'get laid with the young offenders' is brilliant!

[@DellusMaximus]

Does anyone know a song by this band where they sing about a time machine?

[@everythingiscatchingonfire]

Yes! From their prior incarnation, The V-Necks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5-kgWVte5pobcU

@@everythingiscatchingonfire Brilliant! I heard this today on the radio and the DJ named the song correctly and called them The Young Offenders. Shazam couldn't find it though ☹️ Thanks!!!
