Description
To mark Record Store Day 2025, Universal Music Recordings and Island Records are making The Charlatans' 2001 album Wonderland available on limited edition white and red vinyl. This new 2LP set contains six bonus tracks not included on the original album.
Originally released in September 2001, initial sessions for The Charlatans' seventh studio album took place in Los Angeles with producer Danny Saber, and were completed by the band with James Spencer at Big Mushroom Studios, in Cheshire. 'Wonderland' entered the UK album chart at No. 2, and includes the Top 40 singles 'Love Is The Key' and 'A Man Needs To Be Told'. A third single, 'You're So Pretty - We're So Pretty' was scheduled for release but withdrawn; a remix of that single by Lo-Fidelity Allstars is included in the bonus content.
Since The Charlatans formed in the West Midlands in 1988, they have released thirteen studio albums - all of them Top 40, and three of them No. 1 - and had more than 20 Top 40 singles. Following the COVID-19 epidemic, singer Tim Burgess was announced as ambassador for the 2020 'Love Record Stores Day' initiative.
