(DELTASONIC)
There's something magical in the first few bass notes of 'Dreaming Of You' by Scouse chaps The Coral. Other, lesser band's entire careers may never be as fruitful as the two minutes 21 seconds of that single - the earnest wistfulness, the unselfconscious soul baring. To hear it here, nestling alongside the more mature, slicker radio-friendly unit shifter ‘In The Morning’, it’s a refresher course for those who forgot that The Coral are truly an inspirational British band.
The Coral’s music has grown in stature and volume, but it still sounds as fresh as it would being kicked out in a pub backroom.
The second CD of these showcases previously unreleased tracks, live and demo versions, and is a real goldmine for fans, and notable also for its sensational closer, a cover of the Everly Brothers’ ‘Bye Bye Love’.
