Moseley Shoals - Ocean Colour Scene

I am reviewing the album Moseley Shoals by Ocean Colour Scene which is an excellent album. The best track is The Day We Caught The Train which was a top 10 single in Britain but all the tracks are good. This was their first album and it showed a lot of promise and although their later albums were good they failed to surpass this album. I have a friend who used to say to me that a groups first album is their most important one and normally their best. OCS came from Moseley in Birmingham & I think the album name came from the swarms of people on shopping days in Birmingham & also at their concerts. I think this album would be alternative music in Britain although there is a definite 60's influence & rock in America. With the success of this album they were briefly one of the biggest groups in Britain.
