Supergrass - I Should Coco [Black Vinyl LP]

Recorded in Cornwall and produced by Sam Williams, I Should Coco reached number one on the UK Albums Chart in May 1995, making it Parlophone's best-selling debut album since The Beatles' Please Please Me. This 2022 black heavyweight vinyl reissue brings the remastered audio of Supergrass' landmark Britpop debut to a new generation. Gaz Coombes, Danny Goffey, and Mick Quinn were barely out of their teens when they crafted this spectacularly eclectic collection, capturing the energy and enthusiasm of youth with remarkable musical versatility.

The album features five successful singles, including "Alright," which peaked at number two on the UK singles chart and gained platinum status. Other standouts include "Caught by the Fuzz," a song recounting Coombes' experience of being arrested for cannabis possession, and "Mansize Rooster," which showcased the band's quirky, energetic approach to Britpop. The album incorporates an array of rock sub-genres from Brit pop to punk to ska to a dash of trippy psychedelia, with tracks ranging from the jittery punk of "I'd Like to Know" to the six-minute epic "Sofa (Of My Lethargy)."

This 2022 National Album Day release features black heavyweight vinyl with remastered audio and embossed cover artwork. Reviewers praise the pressing for its crystal clear sound, good separation, and pristine midrange, allowing the album's varied sonic palette to shine through with warmth and clarity. The embossed title adds a tactile element to the packaging, honoring the album's status as a Britpop classic.
