DEMON
Sometimes overlooked among the glut of Britpop giants, OCS remain a force. This 4LP set is a reminder of their strengths. Previously only available on VHS, 1998’s Stirling Castle live show is unfiltered and bombastic. In contrast, the folky Jam House homecoming gig unearths hidden gems including Second Hand Car, while 2015’s double LP Live At The Bridgewater Hall, first released for Record Store Day, has become a collector’s item – its electrifying Profit In Peace has never sounded so relevant. Enjoy Fowler, Craddock and Harrison at their soulful best.
