And so, in October 1989, \u003cstrong\u003eSimon Fowler\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSteve Cradock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDamon Minchella\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eOscar Harrison\u003c\/strong\u003e sat down together, chose their three favourite words, arranged them in a satisfactory order and became \u003cstrong\u003eOcean Colour Scene\u003c\/strong\u003e. A year later, they recorded their debut single ‘\u003cem\u003eOne Of Those Days\u003c\/em\u003e’ and within months had a first taste of chart action with a third single ‘\u003cem\u003eYesterday Today\u003c\/em\u003e’. Nevertheless, mainstream success would prove to be a trickier proposition. After a clutch of underperforming single releases, their record label, \u003cstrong\u003eFontana\u003c\/strong\u003e, dropped the band.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere followed a three year hiatus and a difficult period of self-examination. When the band re-emerged, they had reinvented themselves and faced the music industry guns blazing. In February 1996, ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Riverboat Song\u003c\/em\u003e’ smashed into the UK chart and trail blazed six consecutive top ten hits. Backed by the triple platinum selling \u003cem\u003eMoseley Shoals\u003c\/em\u003e and the #1 album \u003cem\u003eMarchin’ Already\u003c\/em\u003e, Ocean Colour Scene became one of the hottest bands in the country, as the hits kept rolling.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThirty-five years on, and Ocean Colour Scene are still together: making music and regularly selling out huge concert halls across the country. They have the support of an extraordinarily dedicated and loyal fan base who cherish their music and hold close to their hearts a lifetime of memories supporting the group. Yet Ocean Colour Scene have never been popular with the music press. They are frequently overlooked for the key role they played in the nineties music scene. They were, and still are, subjected to derision and scorn. It matters not. Ocean Colour Scene did it their way. Standing firm by their music. They became the people’s band. They believe in the soul of bass, drum and guitar rhythm. They exude melody. And they stand amongst the finest purveyors of the stirring sounds of a live concert. Each of the band has a passion to transcend everyday mundanity with music. And most of all they believe, as they always have, that one song can elevate the spirit and enrich the human experience.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e228-track 15CD Collection\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is the first of its kind.
