Keyboard player Rob Collins was killed in a traffic accident on 22 July 1996, during the recording of the band's fifth album Tellin' Stories. The Charlatans decided to continue, drafting in the Primal Scream and former Felt keyboardist Martin Duffy until a permanent replacement for Collins could be found, particularly for The Charlatans' support slot at Oasis' Knebworth concerts which were occurring in less than three weeks time on August 10 and 11. Tellin' Stories was released in 1997, featuring contributions from both Rob Collins and Duffy. The group had their biggest UK hits to date in the singles "One to Another", "North Country Boy" and "How High". [9] Line-up and label changes (1997–2004) [ edit ] In the middle of recording, the Charlatans played a one-off show in Japan. [57] On 15 June 1999, Us and Us Only was announced for release in four months' time. [17] In August 1999, following a warm-up show in Liverpool, the band headlined the Reading and Leeds Festivals. [58] [59] They were due to play a one-off show at the Glasgow Green the following month, with support from Beth Orton and Cast, but the event was cancelled when they were unable to acquire a licence for it. [60] [61] "Forever" was released as the lead single from the album on 4 October 1999. [17] Burgess said that up to that point they had "five singles [played] on Radio 1 and we thought we'd try and sneak in a seven-minute one!" [47] Two editions were released on CD: the first had an edit of "Forever" with "A Great Place to Leave" and "When Your Ship Comes In" as its B-sides, while the other features the edit and full-length album versions of "Forever", with "Sleepy Little Sunshine Boy", in addition to the music video for "Forever" (directed by Kevin Godley). [62] [63] [64] They performed on "Forever" for a Mark Radcliffe session for BBC Radio 1. [65]DiCrescenzo, Brent (October 1999). "Charlatans UK: Us and Us Only". Pitchfork.
