To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the classic debut album ‘I Should Coco’ from brit-pop forerunners Supergrass, we will be releasing some fantastic remastered, anniversary formats. There will be a vinyl reissue of the remastered audio, which includes a copy of the 7” single ‘Stone Free / Odd’ that was originally released with the album.

With the release of ‘I Should Coco’ in 1995 Supergrass enjoyed instant success and quickly earned a UK no. 1 album, with fan favourites ‘Caught By The Fuzz’,  ‘Lenny’ and ‘Man Size Rooster’, and the huge hit single ‘Alright’.

Parlophone is pleased to announce the upcoming reissue of SUPERGRASS’ chart-topping platinum debut album, ‘I SHOULD COCO’ on SEPTEMBER 4th. Remastered on 180-gram vinyl with a deluxe 3-CD expanded edition, this 20th ANNIVERSARY celebration features b-sides, demos, live recordings & much more.

SUPERGRASS burst onto the UK music scene in 1994 with the hit singles ‘Caught By The Fuzz’ and ‘Mansize Rooster.’ Their infectious blend of power-pop melodies, youthful punk attitude and wicked sense of humour set them apart from their Britpop contemporaries. Their sound was not tied to a particular artist or era, so has allowed their music to remain timeless. When ‘I SHOULD COCO’ hit the shelves in 1995, it was an immediate smash, reaching the #1 spot on the UK album chart making it the biggest selling debut album for Parlophone since The Beatles' ‘Please Please Me.’ The album featured two Top 10 hits: ‘Lenny’ and ‘Alright,’ the latter becoming one of the defining songs of their career. These young men devoured a lot of music in their youth; combining the melodicism of The Kinks & The Beatles, the ferocious rhythms of The Who, the Anglo-centric vocals of Madness with the punk/pop energy of The Buzzcocks into a musical stew that sounded like no one but SUPERGRASS. They delivered a nearly perfect album to kick-start their career; a record that still resonates and charms two decades on.

To celebrate the 20th ANNIVERSARY of this modern classic, the trio of Gaz Coombes (lead vocals/guitar), Mick Quinn (bass/vocals) and Danny Goffey (drums/vocals), have opened the vaults to share a plethora of rarities with their fans in addition to a newly remastered version of the original album in the form of two extra CDs, LP and 12” vinyl.

Of the new edition, Gaz Coombes said, "It's been great seeing this anniversary re-issue take shape. There's loads of cool unreleased tracks and bonus goodies on there, and recordings that I forget existed. It's been cool talking again with people who were part of that record, and how they feel about it all now, there's still a lot of love for ‘I Should Coco’. We're really happy to get it out there again."

The 12” 180g, black vinyl reissue has some really exciting features. The front cover has been re-photographed at high resolution from the original painting by The Moody Painters who created all artwork for the original release and singles. The package has been designed by Nick Bax at Human Studios, who was also responsible for graphic design the first time around. The re-issue is dedicated to David Norland, founder of Backbeat Records, who died at the age of 40 last year from cancer.

The LP includes a special bonus: The original 7” single of ‘Stone Free’/‘Odd?’ on red vinyl with a reworked red/yellow classic Parlophone 45 label but in its original retro 'Parlophone' housebag. ‘Stone Free’ was originally recorded during a long night at Falconer Studios 12th Apr 1995 just after the band returned home from their first American tour. ‘Odd?’ was recorded at BBC Maida Vale on 10th Jan 1995, as part of their first John Peel session which was initially broadcast 4th Feb 1995. It was Rob Coombes’ first appearance on keyboards with the band.
