Long-standing UK indie rock band, The Charlatans, was founded in 1988 in the West Midlands by bassist Martin Blunt. With a rich musical history spanning over three decades, they have become a household name in the music industry. Known as The Charlatans UK in North America to avoid copyright issues with another '60s San Francisco psych rock group of the same name, their unique sound and captivating performances have garnered them a dedicated fan base worldwide.

Back In Stock

A career spanning best of entitled A Head Full of Ideas released on Then Recordings. A Head Full of Ideas sums up their remarkable progress from 1990 Manchester scene hopefuls to one of the UK’s most enduring and best-loved bands.

The band have notched up 13 Top 40 studio albums - three of them number ones - alongside 22 hit singles, four of them top 10. The rollercoaster highs have been accompanied by some shattering lows, any which one of them could have felled a less resilient band, from nervous breakdowns to near bankruptcy and the deaths of two founder members. 

Somehow, they have not just carried on but adapted and transformed. The classic Charlatans sound - driving Hammond organ, Northern Soul and house-influenced rhythms, swaggering guitars and Tim Burgess’s sunny yet somehow yearning vocal - is instantly recognisable. And in spite of everything they have been through their music is now more relevant than ever, The Guardian described their last album, Different Days as “one of their best ever”. 

As well as a very limited 6 Vinyl box set, there is also a Limited Coloured Triple vinyl LP version and 2CD deluxe of the box set featuring the hits albums plus a bonus live album Trust is For Believers, and finally a CD or Double LP Vinyl of just the hits albums.

Boxset - This limited box set, is a diverse collection portrayed over five Transparent blue vinyl LP’s, spanning their hits, classic live performances, unheard demo’s and rarities and remixes. Within the box is also be an exclusive Original Demo’s 7” featuring ‘Indian Rope’/’The Only One I Know’, as well as a signed print of a tour poster from the early 90’s, a booklet featuring unseen photographs and sleeve notes by friend and journalist Dave Simpson.
