Some Other Sucker's Parade is a fascinating addition to Del Amitri's catalogue - Originally released on A&M Records in June 1997, the album captures a group secure of their success and gently kicking back against formula - This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1997 A&M UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.
The group, led by bassist-vocalist-writer Justin Currie and writer-guitarist Iain Harvie, had become equally known for their gentle pop and acoustic ballads as their jangling melodic rock. Overseen by Breeders producer Mark Freegard, the album was broadly recorded live and has touches of Crazy Horse and The Faces about it. Acoustic guitars were banned. The harmonious onslaught paid off: Some Other Sucker's Parade – complete with its much-loved singles "Not Where It's At" and "Some Other Sucker's Parade" – entered the charts at No 6 in the UK. "I really love the record, because it's probably our least pretentious," Currie said in 1998.
