It was 30 years ago today that The Charlatan's released their debut album 'Some Friendly'. Recorded in Wrexham in 1990, the album eventually topped the UK Album Charts despite having a fair bit of filler on it as the band desperately scrambled to produce songs to record. Forget that though, it also included 'The Only One I Know' and 'Then' so is worth buying for them alone.
A reminder of great days in my youth and listening to more indie-pop music, something a little less glossy than the usual fayre I was into at the time. Cue Joe Bloggs jeans, baggy James t-shirts and a fringe so long it was put in a ponytail when playing football. Ah, great times...
