Performer Notes
  • The Beautiful South: Paul Heaton, David Stead, David Rotheray, Dave Hemingway, Sean Welch, Briana Corrigan.
  • Additional personnel: Kevin Brown (saxophone); Gary Barnacle (saxophone, flute); Tony Robinson (trumpet); Peter Thoms (trombone); Damon Butcher (piano, keyboards); Pete Wingfield (piano); Jody Kitson (percussion).
  • The follow-up to the Beautiful South's lauded debut, WELCOME TO THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH, 1990's CHOKE furthered frontman Paul Heaton's vision of equally tuneful and cynical pop. While the standout track is "A Little Time," a breezy-yet-bruising duet with Briana Corrigan that managed to top the British singles chart, CHOKE also presents a number of other Beautiful South classics, including the lively "My Book" and the soulful "Let Love Speak Up Itself." Given that Heaton and company lost a little momentum after this outing, CHOKE is widely deemed to be the end of the U.K. ensemble's first golden era.
Professional Reviews
Q - Included in Q's list of the Fifty Best Albums of 1990.

Stereo Review (4/91) - Performance "Oddball pop" / Recording "Good" - "...likably eccentric...lyrical quirks and music-hall and cabaret-influenced pop recalls the Kinks and the sorely undernoticed Deaf School...In a word, intriguing..."

NME (Magazine) - "...a witty collection that has its own cynicism in check..."
