“Tunes so joyous you thought they only existed on dusty 45s in ancient pub jukeboxes.” NME on ‘The Coral’
 
The Coral eponymous debut album remains a totemic release and was described by NME as being the funniest and most refreshing British debut in years. Nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and a Brit Award the album is still sonically unique, wilfully leftfield and thrillingly eclectic. The Coral combined psychedelia with dub, disco groove with pop and ragtime with Egyptian reggae on a remarkable debut that has proved to be timeless. Twenty years on, that records sounds as fresh and remarkable as it did when it was released on 29th July 2002.
