Product description The Charlatans: Tellin' Stories CD - CD, released 1997 in Europe by Beggars Banquet (RTD 141.2290.2), Barcode: 607618019020 -- Genre: Alternative / Indie .co.uk Like Blur, the Charlatans started out as seemingly slight "Madchester" wannabes: Remember the organ-driven hit "The Only One I Know", which nicked its hook from Deep Purple's "Hush"? But the group has matured over the last seven years, becoming a gutsy rock band with a penchant for psychedelicized blues, not unlike the Rolling Stones of Aftermath and Between the Buttons. Sadly, organist Rob Collins was killed in a car crash in Wales in July, 1996, midway through recording this album. His bandmates drew on their pain to complete a cathartic set of songs such as "With No Shoes" and "How Can You Leave Us", which serve as a fitting tribute. --Jim Derogatis

Indie classic from 1997
The Charlatans 5th studio album is a glorious collection containing no fewer than 4 Top 20 singles including the catchy 'North Country Boy', the powerful 'How High' and the outstanding 'One To Another'. The Dylan-esque 'Get On it' features some brilliant lead guitar work from Mark Collins whilst 'How Can You Leave Us' also delivers a superb 1960s vibe. 'Area 51' is an innovative instrumental track and 'You're A Big Girl Now' provides a lovely contrast with its acoustic flavours. Unsurprisingly, this Britpop classic is recognised by many critics as the Cheshire boys finest hour and, to be honest, they are probably correct in this analysis.

Britpop's best kept secret
For some reason this outstanding record is often overlooked in surveys of Britpop that cite Oasis' What's The Story or Pulp's Different Class as the movement's greatest achievements. Tellin' Stories is not only The Charlatans best record, it is one of the great British guitar albums of the 1990s. This vinyl edition is apparently limited to 1000 copies and comes with a whole disc of extra tracks. It's housed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve and arrived very carefully packaged by Amazon. We usually want vinyl reissues to be exact replicas of the originals, but in this instance I'm more than happy to make an exception.

The cream from the Cheshire cats
It is a great album, and like all great albums it is a complete work. Northwich rocks and the Charlatans remain the second greatest band to come from Northwich, and the best band not from the thrash/ hardcore genre.
