Supergrass - In It For The Money (1997)
A fantastic second outing for this Oxfordian power trio. Barely out of nappies when they wrote this, I’m thinking to myself “I bet a lot of musicians wish they wrote that one.

I’ve just picked up a highly collectible box set of all of their records. As well as lots of rarities, live recordings and demos, there’s all of their studio albums on both vinyl and CD. I’m a bit ambivalent about the included vinyl as they are all picture discs in PVC sleeves. They do look fantastic!! There is a bit of noticeable surface noise between tracks but things sound just fine otherwise.
There really is no other way of finding their vinyl elsewhere, so it is a bit of a compromise.
Supergrass really should have been right up their with Blur, Oasis, Pulp and Suede.

commentsWe explored musical lineage and bifurcation, early‑career love turning into later‑career disappointment, and the struggle of trying (and failing) to pass our favourite albums on to family.
