The Charlatans - Tellin Stories (CD, Double vinyl LP)

• Released in 1997, when it went straight to the top of the album charts, this year marks the 15th anniversary of ‘Tellin’ Stories’. 

• Building on the sound of their eponymous, previous release (‘The Charlatans’ - also a No.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. 

• The Charlatans will be playing a series of dates this summer, performing the album in its entirety, and to mark the occasion Beggars Banquet Archive are releasing a special expanded edition on double vinyl and double CD. 

• The package contains the original album, re-mastered and cut from the analogue studio tapes, in addition to 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’. 

• The CD is a limited edition (2000 copies) in double jewel case with slipcase. 

• The double vinyl format is limited to 1000 copies pressed on heavyweight vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. 

• Singer Tim Burgess has also written a recently published biography entitled ‘Telling Stories’.
