Tellin’ Stories (Vinyl) (Reissue)
Tellin’ Stories is the fifth album by the Charlatans; a Britpop, hip hop soul and rock album that had been compared to the work of Patti Smith and Neil Young.
After wrapping up touring in support of their 1995 self-titled fourth album in early 1996, vocalist Tim Burgess and guitarist Mark Collins went to a cottage near lake Windermere to write material.
Recorded from Easter 1996 at the nearby Monnow Valley Studio with the band, engineer Dave Charles and engineer Ric Peet acting as producers.
Partway through recording, keyboardist Rob Collins was involved in a fatal car crash. The band drafted in Martin Duffy of Primal Scream to help finish it, concluding in early 1997.
