CD Description
Combining the retro-psychedelia of the Stone Roses with a large dose of The Doors' swirling keyboard-based sensibility,the Charlatans UK had an initially swift and painless rise to fame. Rocky times lay ahead however, including the mentalillness of their bass player and the departure of their guitarist. Compounding these setbacks was the commercial disappointment of the otherwise outstanding BETWEEN 10TH AND 11TH.
Despite its lack of contemporary commercial success, this album contains the beginnings of a musical maturity and depth. More guitar-based than usual, BETWEEN 10TH AND 11TH embraces a loose, jamming tradition not usually found in post '70s British pop, shown to greatest effect on "The End of Everything". The album has a harder edge than previous efforts,as if the band were trying to stay one step ahead of their demons. Unfortunately they'd soon suffer more setbacks when integral member and keyboard player Rob Collins would be arrested for armed robbery; a few years later he was killed driving drunk from a pub to the studio.

Customer Reviews

For me, The Best Album of the '90s... Possibly Ever
This album never seems to get a fair shake when the Charlatans catalogue is reviewed (even the band members themselves aren't fond of it, apparently), but for me, they've never equalled the dizzy heights of their second LP. The bass-heavy production by Flood is pure perfection, and the songs themselves are dazzling-not a weak track to be found. It also boasts the most formidable one-two-three punch I've ever heard on an album: "I Don't Want To See The Sights", "Ignition" and "Page One" (the latter two, along with "Chewing Gum Weekend", are among the very best tracks they've ever recorded) would be enough on most albums, but the momentum never lags. More emphasis is always placed on the mid to late '90s albums, which are great themselves, but THIS is the Charlatans' golden moment for me. Since its release in 1992, I have yet to hear an album surpass this one. I never tire of it.

The best Charlatans album in the world.....EVER!
From the day I bought this album (after hearing Tremolo song on the evening session with Mark Goodacre...ah, memories...) it has been one of my all-time favourites, the tape actually got worn out forcing me to buy it again on CD.

The stand out tracks such as 'Don't want to see the sights', 'Weirdo', 'Tremolo Song' and 'Can't even be bothered' are a strange mix of early-90's indie, funk and pog rock, the 2 minute organ solo/ad-lib jam session making an unexpected but welcome return....

This album is the Charlatans at their peak, when they defined their own sound from the rest of the Madchester scene and when Rob Collins was in full, crunchy-slide-bar-organ-stylie flow.

Infact my one criticism would be it always feels a trifle short, but then the best things always come in small packages...

BUY THIS ALBUM!!!

Rrrrreally great!
The Charlatans with this album make you just lose your mind into incredible sounds. It makes you forgot your fearest dreams and your worst nightmares. A perfetc synchronicity between them! Play it and you will be reward!
