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 Sigur Ros Kveikur Rock And Pop | Krunk | 180g, 2LP Released 6th October 2023 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sigur Ros Kveikur £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Krunk SKU: 5054197340338 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Cale Fear Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th February 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Cale Fear £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1584 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bear Hands Distraction Rock And Pop | Warner Bros | 1LP Released 11th August 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bear Hands Distraction £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Bros SKU: 5419611441 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Deerhoof Mountain Moves – Limited Edition Rock And Pop | Joyful Noise Recordings | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 8th September 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Deerhoof Mountain Moves – Limited Edition £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Joyful Noise Recordings SKU: JNR233LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 8th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Baby Rose Through and Through Rock And Pop | Secretly Canadian | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th May 2023 £21.00 - £22.00 Select options Baby Rose Through and Through £21.00 - £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Secretly Canadian Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Santana Santana Rock And Pop | Sony Legacy | 180g, 1LP Released 13th May 2016 £19.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Santana Santana £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Legacy SKU: 88875194281 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th May 2016 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View De Staat red yellow blue Rock And Pop | Virgin | 10", EP/Mini Album Released 2nd June 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders De Staat red yellow blue £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin SKU: 5522432 Formats: 10", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 2nd June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dinner Dream Work Rock And Pop | Captured Tracks | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd October 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dinner Dream Work £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured Tracks SKU: CT345LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Adrianne Lenker & Buck Meek Hours Were The Birds Rock And Pop | Saddle Creek | 1LP Released 16th November 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Adrianne Lenker & Buck Meek Hours Were The Birds £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Saddle Creek SKU: LBJ282LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View James Arthur Back From The Edge Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 2LP Released 26th November 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders James Arthur Back From The Edge £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 88875185171 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 26th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
