The Beautiful South: 0898 Beautiful South - CD - Go! Discs 828 310-2
Amazon.co.uk
It's hard to credit now, but when
0898 was released, it seemed as though The Beautiful South's commercial peak may have been behind them. Rave had effectively taken over the airwaves, and with critics salivating over all things baggy, Paul Heaton and Dave Rotheray's songs were suddenly finding trouble being heard.
0898 failed to spawn any significant hits and yet all the quintessential Beautiful South hallmarks abound: Heaton's spirited defence of the barfly ("Old Red Eyes Is Back", "The Domino Man"); a bilious castigation of burgeoning lad culture; and the royalty-baiting "We'll Deal With You Later". They're often derided for being middle-of-the-road, and in as much as
0898 owes more to than The Stooges, it's true. But it takes a melodic nous like Dave Rotheray's to usher a worldview like Heaton's into so many homes. How ironic that "We Are Each Other" chooses as its target the kind of partners who lovingly feed each other at restaurants. Heaton and Rotheray are as near as you'll find to a songwriting equivalent. --

Great website – Item in Perfect Condition, Worth the Wait
I ordered a Funko Pop + Tee set from Yachew and had a great experience overall. The item arrived in perfect condition — clean packaging, no damage, and exactly as described. As a collector, I really appreciate when things are handled with care, and this definitely was.
Although the order arrived about a week later than expected, it wasn’t a big deal to me. What stood out most was Yachew’s quick and helpful communication. I had a couple of enquiries along the way, and they responded promptly and professionally, which gave me peace of mind while waiting.
All in all, I’m very happy with the purchase and the customer service. I’d definitely buy from Yachew again — highly recommended!
