The tune that lent itself to the keyboard solo from White Shirt by the Charlatans so readily.

"Well I used to know a girl called Caroline, and I never knew her age,
We hitched from coast to coast..."

Yeah right. I was 14.

Remastered as well as possible using Audacity. Was recorded on a ghetto blaster tape deck in the most echoey hall in Huddersfield so...

Jubilee

Wah wah and distortion. What more does one need.

Musical Hero

Great bluesy guitar break. Very Madchester...

Profound

***Out of Tune Guitar Alert***

Still, at least the lyrics are up to the usual standard...

Tax The Taxman

It started off badly, tailed off a bit in the middle, and the less said about the end the better.

Long Live Rock And Roll

Think the chords in the break down were a rip off from part of Bohemian Rhapsody. 

You'll Never Know

A song about the shallow, corporate nature of some other bands. 

We never sold out though.

Rough Ready And Ridiculous

The most "indie" of all our songs (and that's saying something), penned by the member of the band least inclined to the jingle and jangle of the sixteen beat. 

Look Around

Cloud Nine were (and still are, spiritually)
Richard Ashley, Chris Depledge, Kit Good, Tom Hemmings and Andrew Ibbotson. There were other incarnations, but after the parting of (musical) ways with lead guitarist Mark Sansom, the five piece Cloud NIne settled.

These songs were recorded at Birds Edge Church Hall circa 1991, either by Kit's brother, or Fash's brother, or Fash's brother's mate on a ghetto blaster. The results were so inspiring, Cloud Nine were offered a six album recording contract worth £1.75m. Alas Cloud Nine had to turn it down to complete their GCSE's.
