The history of the band had been littered with fall-outs and departures due to musical differences, but at long last, Edwyn had the final say on everything, ably assisted and advised by an experienced producer whom he liked and trusted.
The record was made thanks to major contributions on bass from Clare Kenny (on loan from Amazulu) and producer Denis Bovell on keyboards.ĭespite all this, or maybe perhaps because of this, the album proved to the tightest and most consistent that Orange Juice ever released. The group had whittled down to just two members, as indicated by the notes that accompany the album – ‘Orange Juice are Edwyn Collins and Zeke Manyika’. It’s been said, by others, that this record isn’t really that last in the life of Orange Juice, but the first solo release by Edwyn Collins. Again, it wasn’t an easy choice, especially as there were options from the Postcard-era together as well as a compilation encompassing the three studio albums and one mini-LP from the Polydor years. The final studio album, The Orange Juice, is the one I’ve selected for the rundown.

After all, having been given a repress, it’s available for £45 direct from AED Records, the enterprise owned by Edwyn Collins, and in return you’ll have 130 pieces of music along with a DVD containing TV appearances, a couple of promo videos and a live gig that was originally released on VHS back in 1985. It was a similar train of thought that initially led me to consider, in terms of Orange Juice and this rundown, including Coals To Newcastle, the 6xCD box set issued by Domino Records in 2010. There’s a famous quote attributed to John Peel that, when he was asked by a listener which Fall record they should buy, he replied ‘You must get them all’.
