CARTER THE UNSTOPPABLE SEX MACHINE
1992: THE LOVE ALBUM
CHRYSALIS
★★★★
Pop historians tend to write off Carter USM’s chart-topping, Glastonbury-headlining success as a baffling aberration on the road from grunge to Britpop. And sure, the hair and shorts were certainly... a choice. But if this reissue of Jim Bob and Fruitbat’s biggest-selling LP proves anything, it’s that the duo’s music is long overdue a re-evaluation, also afforded by the similarly full reissue of the preceding 30 Something.
