CD Description
'A Rough Outline' is a collection of singles and B-sides from one of Britpop's finest bands, The Bluetones. Combining the baggy beats of The Stone Roses with the clued-up jangle pop of The Smiths, the band enjoyed great success in the mid-to-late 90's with a string of memorable singles, all of which are included here along with the best of their B-sides. Includes the singles 'Slight Return' and 'Marblehead Johnson'.

About the Artist
The Bluetones will be touring in March 2006.

Customer Reviews

The Bluetones - In Full
I first got into The Bluetones in 1996. Along with bands such as Oasis & Shed 7 being constantly played on my Hi-Fi and Walkman The Bluetones released fantastic catchy tunes which had Brit pop on it's knees begging for more. Great band who are undoubtedly underrated.

Two good reasons... plus 58 others
Hidden in this vast compilation of Bluetones tracks is an undiscovered and hard to find "gem"... "Nae Hair On't"... a beautifully gentle, incredibly atmospheric acoustic/electric guitar workout that will, if you haven't heard it (as you probably haven't) take your breath away. Five stars on its own plus, for the price, you get no less than 60 tracks including all the hits and their equally atmospheric interpretation of a superb "lost" 60s classic, the Left Banke's "Pretty Ballerina". Two good reasons - plus 58 others - to take the plunge.

The greatest British band of the past 10 years
There is not a bad song on this album, but then the Bluetones don't do bad songs. If you're new to the Bluetones, this is a great introduction, If you've bought all their albums and singles, pretty much everything will be familiar, but every track is a corker, and it'll remind just how great they are (as if you could forget).
