Moseley Shoals reached number two on the UK album chart, which no doubt helped them achieve a success when scoring a No.1 with their 1997 Marchin' Already album. Alongside Marchin' Already and One from the Modern, Moseley Shoals is an album that belongs in every serious Britpop collection. One of the better Britpop releases by a band that isn't one of the genre's "Big Four".

White, Adam (1 November 1997). "Jorgen Larsen's Universal Music International Emerges as a Global Force". Billboard. Vol.109, no.44. p.99 . Retrieved 17 October 2020. Thing is, over time I fell out of love with Moseley Shoals and Ocean Colour Scene as a whole. It wasn’t that they weren’t good at what they did, it was just that there were outside factors. While it was well known that they had had their career resurrected by Noel Gallagher hawking their demo tapes around every record company desperate to sign up any white boy guitar-toting four piece, the fact that they were more than happy to play a second sycophantic fiddle to a lesser act despite being musically much more diverse and infinitely more talented was a real shame.

Marchin’ Already confirmed their arrival as a major force with more original classics in the shape of “Hundred Mile High City”, “Better Day”, “Traveller’s Tune” and “It’s a Beautiful Thing” – the latter pair featuring P.P. Arnold and exuding a heady whiff of Northern Soul. Again we’d point you to their Deluxe and even Super Deluxe editions where their prolific but high-quality output can be heard spread across 3-CDs/DVD in the latter case, including live sets at Manchester Apollo and Stirling Castle.
