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 Madonna Like A Virgin (Clear Vinyl) Rock And Pop | Warner Music | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th November 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Madonna Like A Virgin (Clear Vinyl) £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Music SKU: 0603497849284 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lumineers, The The Lumineers Rock And Pop | Decca | 1LP Released 5th November 2012 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lumineers, The The Lumineers £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Decca SKU: 3716864 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lingua Ignota SINNER GET READY Rock And Pop | Sargent House | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 6th August 2021 £24.00 Select options Lingua Ignota SINNER GET READY £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sargent House Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th August 2021 Read More Select options Nearly New View Product Quick View Graham Nash Innocent Eyes Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 1LP Released 18th May 2022 £7.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Graham Nash Innocent Eyes £7.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic SKU: nn242623 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th May 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Matt Berry Summer Sun / Like Stone – Sean Ono Lennon Remixes Rock And Pop | Acid Jazz | 12", Single Released 28th January 2022 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt Berry Summer Sun / Like Stone – Sean Ono Lennon Remixes £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Acid Jazz SKU: AJX621T Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 28th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Night Beds Ivywild Rock And Pop | Dead Oceans | 2LP Released 7th August 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Night Beds Ivywild £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dead Oceans SKU: DOC085LP-C1 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 7th August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eric Bachmann Eric Bachmann Rock And Pop | Merge | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 23rd March 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eric Bachmann Eric Bachmann £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge SKU: MRG548LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View R.E.M.
