All beginnings start with a name. And so, in October 1989, Simon Fowler, Steve Cradock, Damon Minchella and Oscar Harrison sat down together, chose their three favourite words, arranged them in a satisfactory order and became Ocean Colour Scene. Thirty five years on, and Ocean Colour Scene are still together: making music and regularly selling out huge concert halls across the country. They have the support of an extraordinarily dedicated and loyal fan base who cherish their music and hold close to their hearts a lifetime of memories supporting the group. This latest box set continues Demon Records' ongoing celebration of one of Britain's finest bands and for this edition we present a treasure trove of lesser-known Ocean Colour Scene classics. Within this 4LP set you'll find four discs filled to the brim with all the B-sides and rarities released by OCS over the course of their career thus far. Running in chronological order you'll find tracks such as the Free-inspired 'So Sad' and 'Men of Such Opinion' (Simon's favourite self-written lyric), 'I Need a Love Song' and 'Justine' - the B-side tracks to the OCS classic 'The Day We Caught the Train' single, 'On the Way Home' taken from the 'Travellers Tune' 1997 release, 'Expensive Chair' and 'Mariners Way' which feature P.P. Arnold and 'Hello Monday' which is from the 'Hundred Mile High City' single. The artwork is an outtake from the iconic Tony Briggs shot from the single 'The Day We Caught the Train'. This box set is put together in full coordination with the band, all of these tracks have been remastered by Phil Kinrade at Alchemy Mastering and now pressed on limited edition 140g colour vinyl. Complete with signed insert.
