The Suitable Mouth - 4 - The Beautiful South

Solid Bronze the band's latest release (Nov. 2001) is yet another Greatest Hits package. It has failed to have the same impact as COUTC, but has still been a great success, considering the band REALLY didn't want this album released!
Check out that remix of The Mediterranean by Morcheeba.

Q Review:
In hindsight, The Beautiful South's 1994 Best Of, Carry On Up The Charts, was a little premature. By end of the decade the nation's favourite jukebox troubadours had clocked-up another eight singles, including five Top 20s, and it was suddenly outdated. Hence this second, superior stab, covering the best of both eras. The cute cynicism of early hits Song For Whoever and A Little Time is still the main attraction. But, with their gallows humour, jaunty tunes and ability to encapsulate life in three middle-of-the-road minutes never faltering, latterday additions aren't far behind. In Rotterdam, Don't Marry Her and Perfect 10 there are enough mid-tempo nods, winks and sing-alongs to make this another lunchtime drinker's favourite.****(4 STARS)
