Universally acclaimed by critics, with particular praise for the quality of it's musicianship as well as nominations for the Mercury Music Prize and Brits, The Coral's self-titled debut album, released in July 2002, made quite a splash. Co-produced by the band (using the name Zion Egg) and fellow-Merseyside native Ian Broudie, it clearly distilled it's sounds from an impressively diverse range of influences and was most often tagged as both 'neo-psychedelia' and 'folk rock'. 'The Coral' peaked at number five in the UK Albums Chart and alongside it's third single, 'Dreaming of You', was certified platinum by the BPI. Mirroring the original vinyl version, this pressing includes the track 'Simian Technology' at the end of side B.
