Gli eroi di Manchester, i The Charlatans pubblicheranno “A Head Full of Ideas”, una nuova compilation che abbraccerà  la loro carriera, il 15 ottobre via Republic of Records. Non mancano le svariate edizioni, compresi i set classici di due album in vinile e CD, ma anche un’edizione Super Deluxe Box Set di ben sei vinili-LP con tracce dal vivo, remix, demo e altro.

I remix includono le versioni curate da pesi massimi come Sleaford Mods, Chemical Brothers, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Orb, Norman Cook e un remix inedito di “Tellin’ Stories” dei The Go-Team che potete ascoltare qui sotto.

Nel frattempo, i The Charlatans si imbarcheranno nel tour del 30 ° anniversario della band. Le date live che toccheranno per ora solo il Regno Unito, dovevano avvenire l’anno scorso, ma ovviamente per la pandemia tutto si è spostato. Questo tour includerà  anche uno spettacolo gratuito per i lavoratori del NHS al Gorilla di Manchester il 15 novembre.
