Album Description
Available in:
It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah is the first album by British band Black Grape. It was released in 1995. The album was seen as something of a triumphant comeback for both Shaun Ryder and Bez (both formerly of Happy Mondays). The album represented what some considered an evolution of the Happy Mondays sound on their 1990 album Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches, with more of a hip hop influence, down mostly to the rapping of Kermit, formerly of the band The Ruthless Rap Assassins. The album was a critical and commercial success.
The album art features a famous photograph of infamous international terrorist Carlos the Jackal colored in pop art style. This album art was inspiration for Issue 2 of the Image Comics series, Phonogram.
The opening lines of 'In the Name of the Father' are quoted in the novel The Demented Lands by Alan Warner.
The song "A Big Day In the North" was used as the opening song in the 1995 scifi movie "Virtuosity" with Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe.
The song "Yeah Yeah Brother" featured in the film "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006). The line It's Frothy Man in the song is partly a reference to advertising the 1970s soft drink Cresta.
Throughout the album there are lyrical references to The Beatles.
The album was certified platinum by the BPI on 1 April 1996 and got nominated for the Mercury Prize, which lost to Pulp's Different Class.
