2020 Charity Shop Purchase 38 - Teenage Fanclub - Mellow Doubt
It's always good to pick up something new from Teenage Fanclub even if it is only a CD single
From March 1995 Mellow Doubt, on the Creation label, was a taster for their 5th album Grand Prix which was released on 29th May 1995. Grand Prix is a mighty fine album albeit one I've never featured here before.
It was followed up as a single by the brilliant Sparky's Dream with Neil Jung being the third and final single from the album.
Mellow Doubt was written by Norman Blake, hence his appearance on the cover.
There are a further three songs on the single including a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover and it comes in at just a couple of seconds over 10 minutes.
Enjoy

Not many records achieve such a high level of perfection, but Grand Prix is as near to a 5*, 10/10, A+ (other methods of rating are available) album as I think it's possible to get.
ReplyDeleteGood songs CC and a cracking single. CD singles offered a lot of VFM in the mid 90s.
ReplyDeleteI especially like track 3.
ReplyDeleteTrack 4 is track 3. Which appears twice.
