The Off White Album Martin Newell SKU: CT336LPC1 Barcode: 0817949033668 23.00 £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured Tracks Released Date: 26th March 2021 Buying Format: 1LP Coloured Vinyl Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info A cheeky riff on the Beatles’ White Album, Cleaners From Venus frontman Martin Newell’s second solo album from 1995 is a sophisticated follow-up to the critically-acclaimed The Greatest Living Englishman. Produced by él Records fixture Louis Philippe and featuring XTC’s Dave Gregory on guitar, it’s a vivid snapshot of Newell’s life with a French chanson-inspired ease. A longtime fan of French music, Newell sought a Gallic quality on this record – with the vocal riding at the top of the mix, rather than blurred under indie rock guitars, as was common at the time. Philippe was happy to oblige. The effect is a clarity of both form and content – on “Arcadian Boys,” Newell’s impassioned voice careens over a heartbreaking string quartet (arranged by Philippe himself) as he wonders what’s become of those “too late for the sun.” It’s a much more emotional take on the song than the guitar-laden, uptempo version that appears on the Cleaners From Venus’ My Back Wages. But The Off White Album doesn’t dwell too long in solemnity – it’s still a Martin Newell record, after all. His classic wit is on full display, whether he’s putting an irreverent spin on the Smiths (“Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others”) or fondly warning a neighbor to “watch your chemicals, girl” (“The Girls In The Flat Upstairs”). A rich cast of characters make up The Off White Album, via both the process of its recording and the subjects of its songs. It’s a record born on the road, inspired by Newell’s experiences travelling through Europe and Asia the year of its inception. Perhaps the clearest portrait that emerges as the album draws to a close, however, is one of Newell himself: as poet, coffee shop customer, bandleader, lover and neighbor. By his own admission, The Off White Album is “a more intimate portrait of my life at that time than I’d intended.” Artist Martin Newell Genre Rock And Pop Label Captured Tracks Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Call Me Michael Moonlight The World Of Dandy Leigh Arcadian Boys The Blue Beret Ursula In A Waiting Room When The Damsons Are Down Lions Drunk On Sunlight Miss Van Houten’s Coffee Shoppe She Was Never Drowning Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others Queen Phyllis Of Colchester Goodnight Country Girl The Girls In The Flat Upstairs Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Martin Newell and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Martin Newell Greatest Living Englishman Rock And Pop | Captured Tracks | 1LP Released 23rd February 2018 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Martin Newell Greatest Living Englishman £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured Tracks SKU: CT271 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Strokes, The The Singles Volume 01 Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 7", Box Set Released 24th February 2023 £111.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Strokes, The The Singles Volume 01 £111.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19439955787 Formats: 7", Box Set Released Date: 24th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Paul Heaton The Last King Of Pop Rock And Pop | UMC/Virgin | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 15th November 2018 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul Heaton The Last King Of Pop £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC/Virgin SKU: V3215 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Rory Gallagher Rory Gallagher Blues | Polydor | 1LP Released 2nd May 2024 £27.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Rory Gallagher Rory Gallagher £27.00 Genre: Blues Label: Polydor SKU: nn286055 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd May 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Various Artists Join The Ritual Rock And Pop | Jagjaguwar | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th September 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Join The Ritual £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jagjaguwar SKU: JAG403LP-C1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Maria BC Hyaline Rock And Pop | Fear Of Missing Out | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th December 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Maria BC Hyaline £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fear Of Missing Out SKU: FOMO035LPX2 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View David Bowie Beauty and The Best / Sense of Doubt (Promo) Rock And Pop | RCA Victor | 7", Single Released 18th May 2016 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations David Bowie Beauty and The Best / Sense of Doubt (Promo) £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: RCA Victor SKU: NN95726 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 18th May 2016 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Le Ren Leftovers Rock And Pop | Secretly Canadian | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th October 2021 £22.00 Select options Le Ren Leftovers £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Secretly Canadian Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th October 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Gregg Allman Live – Back To Macon Rock And Pop | Concord | 2LP Released 12th October 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gregg Allman Live – Back To Macon £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Concord SKU: 7237706 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 12th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt's picks View Product Quick View Grace Lightman Silver Eater Rock And Pop | Handsome Dad | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 19th July 2019 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grace Lightman Silver Eater £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Handsome Dad SKU: HD021LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 19th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Levellers Peace (Picture Disc) Rock And Pop | On The Fiddle | 1LP, Picture Disc Released 18th February 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Levellers Peace (Picture Disc) £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: On The Fiddle SKU: OTFLP31P Formats: 1LP, Picture Disc Released Date: 18th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
