1	Miaow (1994) more music like this by The Beautiful South The Beautiful South expanded upon the sound of 0898 with Miaow, another expertly crafted set of sophisticated, jazzy pop. Even with the addition of new vocalist Jacqueline Abbot, the band has not changed much between the two albums and what is different is subtle -- the arrangements are more intricate and the melodies are more graceful. Though the ... see all copies from $10.10! new only from $10.10!
2	Quench (1998) more music like this by The Beautiful South In what has become a familiar pattern, Quench, the Beautiful South's sixth regular album release (not counting the singles compilation Carry on Up the Charts), entered the British charts at number one in October 1998, following the number two success of its single, "Perfect 10," while in the U.S. its release was delayed until July 1999, when it ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $20.59!
3	Painting It Red (2000) more music like this by The Beautiful South The Beautiful South once again run aground with diminishing sales, bungled CD pressings, and -- probably the most troubling -- the reported departure of longtime vocalist Jacqueline Abbott. Still, the band had always managed to sound unflinchingly upbeat amidst bleak situations in the past, and Painting It Red comes off, in some ways, grinning ... see all copies from $4.66! new only from $4.66!
4	Carry on up the Charts: The Best of the Beautiful South (1995) more music like this by The Beautiful South Carry On up the Charts: The Best of the Beautiful South was the surprise British hit of 1994, going platinum five times between its late fall release and the summer of 1995. The success was surprising, because while the Beautiful South had been modestly popular, their last few albums were sliding down the charts. However, their hits collection, ... see all copies from $9.35! new only from $9.35!
5	Gaze (2004) more music like this by The Beautiful South see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
6	Choke (1990) more music like this by The Beautiful South Their 1989 debut was hailed for reinserting cynicism, doubt, and biting sarcasm into pop music. But when Choke arrived a year later, Paul Heaton and the Beautiful South encountered a good amount of critical blowback. " Too clever!" they cried. " Too cynical!" It was true -- kind of. As before, tales of codependence and things seen that should ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.33!
7	Solid Bronze: Great Hits (2002) more music like this by The Beautiful South Long live subversive, cutting lyrics couched in pastel-colored, unassuming, melodic pop. But aren't two compilation albums -- even if the second one has the modest superlative-eschewing subtitle "Great Hits" -- in 13 years a bit much? With 19 tracks to the 15 on 1994's Carry on Up the Charts, the intention on Solid Bronze, it would seem, is to be ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $17.81!
8	Gold (2006) more music like this by The Beautiful South Annotator Daryl Easlea begins his liner notes to the Beautiful South's entry in Universal Music International's discount-priced Gold series of double-CD compilations by commenting on the surprising fact that the best-selling album in the U.K. in the 1990s was the group's 1994 hits collection, Carry on Up the Charts, and it is therefore worth ... see all copies from $23.91! new only from $23.91!

10	My Book [EP] (1991) more music like this by The Beautiful South This is a 12-minute EP consisting of the title track, a song from The Beautiful South's second album, Choke, and three otherwise unavailable recordings: "Big Beautiful South," a rough demo, "Bigger Doesn't Mean Better," an instrumental, and "Speak To Me," recorded live. They give a less polished--and less sarcastic--view of the band. William ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $20.99!
11	Blue Is the Colour (1996) more music like this by The Beautiful South "Don't marry her... fk me." Light, dreamy pop that includes lines like this may knock the listener over. An added feature is the various ways vocal duties are shared by Jacqueline Abbot, Dave Hemingway, and Paul Heaton. Finely produced, it should be noted that the knob-twiddler here was Jon Kelly (Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Tori Amos, Kate Bush) ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $17.79!**
12 view cover	Golddiggas Headnodders & Pholk Songs (2004) more music like this by The Beautiful South The Beautiful South modestly inaugurate a new label association with Sony with this all-covers collection. Artists known for original material who make albums like this often do so to pay tribute to the beloved music of their youth; think of John Lennon's Rock 'n' Roll or David Bowie's Pin Ups. The Beautiful South, however, are known for their ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $27.59!
13 view cover	Welcome to the Beautiful South (1989) more music like this by The Beautiful South The Beautiful South's 1989 debut would be important if only to mark the partial continuance of the Housemartins' legacy. But when vocalist Paul Heaton and drummer Dave Hemmingway greeted the world with Welcome to the Beautiful South, the handshake came with a Cheshire grin. Nothing in the Beautiful South was as it seemed. Where there was jaunty, ... see all copies from $2.49!
14 view cover	0898 (1992) more music like this by The Beautiful South There are no big poses or walls of crunchy guitars on 0898. Instead, the group -- which includes three lead vocalists -- deals in fragile melodies and harmonies, soulful but low-key instrumentation, and lyrics full of subtle social commentary and humor. In North America, where mainstream audiences have been well trained to salivate to very obvious ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $17.79!

19 view cover	Now, Vol. 42 [UK] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Volume 42 in the ongoing Now series paints a fairly definitive portrait of the state of mainstream British pop in the early months of 1999; in addition to smashes like Cher's monster club hit "Believe" to Blur's gospel-tinged epic "Tender" to Fatboy Slim's big-beat landmark "Praise You," the two-disc set also takes time out to honor the memory of ... see all copies from $8.95!
