The Charlatans - Tellin' Stories

Building on the sound of their eponymous, previous release (The Charlatans - also a number 1), the band's performance has the feel of a classic British rock band, (the type which also contain 'Roll' in the Music'), combined with the more focussed songwriting of 'Britpop'. It has aged well. beggars banquet now release a special expanded edition.

2LP - The first disc is the original album, re-mastered and cut from the analogue studio tapes, while the second disc is a collection of the single b sides plus an unreleased, early version of 'Don't Need a Gun', originally entitled 'Rainbow Chasing'. Of the eight b sides only half were re-issued on the anthology Songs from the Other Side.
