One of the best-loved UK bands of the last four decades, The Charlatans' career spans 14 albums, three Number One UK albums and era-defining anthems like "The Only One I Know", "North Country Boy" and "One to Another". Out on March 27th, this 2XLP/2XCD expanded edition of Some Friendly celebrates their landmark 1990 debut album. The 20 songs on this release include the original album plus a selection of bonus tracks curated especially for this release by Tim Burgess. The album has been newly remastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road and will be pressed on double white vinyl with a printed inner gatefold sleeve. It is also available on 2XCD. The Charlatans formed in 1988 and released their debut single "Indian Rope" in early 1990. They began recording Some Friendly shortly after with producer Chris Nagle. The blistering lead single, "The Only One I Know" was their first top-10 hit, and is still their most popular track. The song has recently been getting even more attention for it's use in the popular Netflix series Run Away.
