Universally acclaimed by critics, with particular praise for the quality of its musicianship as well as nominations for the Mercury Music Prize and Brits, The Coral’s self-titled debut album, released in July 2002, made quite a splash.
Co-produced by the band (using the name Zion Egg) and fellow-Merseyside native Ian Broudie, it clearly distilled its sounds from an impressively diverse range of influences and was most often tagged as both ‘neo-psychedelia’ and ‘folk rock’.
Mirroring the original vinyl version, this pressing includes the track, ‘Simian Technology’, at the end of side B.
