It's Great When You're Straight...Yeah: Exclusive Green Vinyl LP { vinyl }

Black Grape's debut, It's Great When You're Straight...Yeah, is a surreal, funky, profane, and perversely joyous album, overflowing with casual eclecticism and giddy humour. Working with a band that is looser and grittier than the Mondays, Shaun Ryder sounds reinvigorated, creating bizarre rhymes that tie together junk culture, drug lingo, literary references, and utter nonsense. Ryder's lyrics have always been freewheelingly impenetrable, but this is now working with Kermit, a rapper that is the equal of his skills. Not only is the record a triumphant return for Ryder and his sidekick Bez, it is the first album they ever recorded that justifies all the hype. Now on limited edition green vinyl.
