The Charlatans Biography


To ensure they took advantage of this new start, all the old ways were abandoned. They rejected working in their own Big Mushroom Studio and brought in a new producer, Jim Lowe. Conditions designed to challenge the gang.

Says Martin Blunt: "Not doing it at Mushroom again and taking the recording out of the band's comfort zone took the album somewhere else, and the different environment ensured there no distractions. Jim Lowe impressed us… he was a fan of the band and we thought, great, we'll try him out. Sometimes you can get too precious, but with this it was different."

The band ended up in Reading's Hook End Studios with just four weeks of time and money to complete the album, ready to give it a raw edge. The classic rock influences are still there - the band had pictures of Gram Parsons and Joe Strummer looking over them as they recorded at breakneck speed.
