RELEASE DATE 08/11/2024
 
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Charlatans’ third album, ‘Up To Our Hips’, Beggars Banquet are excited to release an expanded edition of the album. The 2LP set features the original album in addition to 10 bonus tracks comprised of live session recordings, rare mixes and more, all curated by Tim Burgess. The special package has brand-new reimagined artwork by Nik Void and is pressed on Petrol Blue bio vinyl.
 
Released in 1994, ‘Up To Our Hips’ was a new direction for the band. It leaned slightly away from the lighter pop songs of their previous two albums and is darker, heavier and organ-led. At the time, they were listening to a lot of Small Faces, Beatles, and Dylan and watching David Lynch films all while navigating internal band stress, and many of the lyrics on the album reflect the stress of the band at the time. The tracks that have been added to the release include two live tracks recorded for the SteveLamacq and Jo Whiley Show, plus B-sides, alternate mixes and more.
