I used to record with the bloke that recorded that album, Bob Lamb, in a studio he set up with the money he made from it. We used to rehearse in his studio too, until Ocean Colour Scene (nee the Fanatics, of course) got their publishing deal and block booked the rehearsal room for six months, the feckers. But Bob let us rehearse in the main studio when he wasn't recording in it. OCS used to leave their fan mail lying around in the kitchen.
The studio was in Highbury Road, Kings Heath. Highbury was a big house in Brum named after ... OUR Highbury in N5.
Bob worked with Duran Duran too.
