The Charlatans announce release of ‘Us And Us Only’ deluxe edition

The Charlatans and Universal Music are proud to announce the release of the band’s sixth album ‘Us And Us Only’ as a deluxe edition on March 28th 2011.

Originally released in 1999, this deluxe edition features a collection of bonus tracks that include b-sides, live recordings, radio sessions and rare remixes.

The release of ‘Us And Us Only’ in October 1999 marked a new chapter for the band, not only was it their first release for Island Records following the end of their contract with Beggars Banquet but significantly, this was to be The Charlatan’s first album without keyboardist Rob Collins, who had tragically died in a car crash in 1996.

The album was recorded at the band’s own Big Mushroom Studio’s in Cheshire with engineer and mixer Jim Spencer and is still as popular today as it was on it’s release, debuting at No.2 in the charts, it reached Gold status after a few days and went on to spend 10 weeks in the UK top 40.

The bonus tracks on this deluxe edition comprise the B-sides to Forever, My Beautiful Friend and Impossible, include hard to find remixes by Lionrock and Jagz Kooner plus radio sessions from Mark Radcliffe and The Evening Session, a Later With Jools Holland version of A House Is Not A Home and a potent performance from 1999’s Reading Festival headlining show.

The band released their eleventh studio album ‘Who We Touch’ last year and have just completed a successful world tour.
