Can it really be 20 years since THE CHARLATANS began to carve their own distinctive, tough, psychedelic soundtrack for those brief, heady years when Manchester was the centre of the world? From the auspicious start, they've experienced career highs and lows, broadened their musical base and endured to become one of the eras most respected and successful bands. Beggars Banquet's gloriously re-mastered re-issue of The Charlatans No.1 debut album is now accompanied by a second CD of singles and sessions. This expanded edition includes Some Friendly restored to its original vinyl sequence, plus a second disc of the non-album singles and previously unreleased BBC sessions.
