The Charlatans (or Charlatans UK) - ushering in the 90's in a mind-melting sort of way.


One of the bands very much on the ground floor of the Madchester movement in the late '80's/early 90's was The Charlatans (or known as Charlatans UK over here due to something contractual).

Tonight it's a session they recorded for the John Peel Program at The BBC on March 20, 1990.

Here's what they play:

1.Then
2.Always In Mind
3.You Can Talk To Me
4.Polar Bear

LINE UP
Tim Burgess (Vocals)
Rob Collins (Organ)
Jon Day (Bass)
Jonathan Brookes (Drums)
John Day (Guitar)

Luckily, they are still around (but with personnel changes), still recording and touring. Still fresh as ever.
