0898 Beautiful South was released in 1992 to wide critical acclaim.  The band was really beginning to make their mark on British Pop/Rock.
Although none of the singles sold particularly well, Old Red Eyes Is Back performing best, the album was successful.
This was Briana's last album with The Beautiful South, she left shortly after it's release and pursued a solo career.
Singles from this album were Old Red Eyes Is Back, We Are Each Other, Bellbottomed Tear and 36D.

Q Review:

The third album from The Beautiful South further underlines their penchant for everyday storylines and their reading of '90s reality. Like a modern day musical version of those gritty true life black-and-white melodramas of grim Northern life, the South offer us a '90s soap featuring boozers and losers, reshaping the world and overthrowing the government from the comfort of a bar stool. Last year's Old Red Eyes Is Back is indicative of their commercial potential and they enhance the narrative with three lead vocalists adding width to their passion play. There are potential hits here and some well sketched views of working-class life but, for a band who obviously deal with personal politics, 0898 remains little more than well scripted commentary offering few solutions but lots of songs.*** (3 STARS)
