Though I had always been a big fan of The Beautiful South, and The Housemartins before them, for me this album signified the break-up of my love affair with the band.

After the epic style of 'Miaow' and the 10*platinum success of 'Carry on up the Charts', the Beautiful South were faced with a difficult decision of where to go next. Rather than carrying on where they left off, they changed to a more acoustic, folky style. 1.5 million people bought the album, perhaps on the ... Read the complete review
