Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
With If You Happy With, You Need Do Nothing, Alfie seem set on becoming the latest group of young scallywags to come slouching out of Manchester, set on turning the music world upside down. Collecting all the tracks from their first three vinyl-only single releases ("alfie EP", "Bookends" and "Montevideo") plus two new tracks, If You Happy With places Alfie up with fellow Mancunian upstarts such as the Buzzcocks, Joy Division, the Stone Roses and Oasis. Imagine a more languid take on that refried 1960s vibe that the Madchester scene pumped full of attitude and took out dancing: "2 Up 2 Down" is Arthur Lee's Love jostling with the Lovin' Spoonful over who gets to use the trumpet, while "Manor House Farm" sounds like Tim Buckley in a sunshine-flooded Salford. Alfie are a little bit of summer and a whole lot of Baggy; only this time, it's wearing sandals. --Billie Swift

4.0 out of 5 stars Cellotastic, 15 May 2001
By A Customer
Alfie are the surprise package this year, with little exposure apart from NME support. The album has an array of unique and beautiful tracks ranging from the "You Make No Bones" rich in Matt's cello and Sam's double bass sounds to the extremely relaxed "Check Your Weight" with soothing vocals and mellow drumming to finish with. This album is for the eclectic ear and slips alongside Starsailor, Turin Brakes and Elbow as this years must haves. Check them live.

5.0 out of 5 stars very,very good., 10 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Well i have been waiting for this all year,consisting mainly of the 3 ep's alfie have released so far which i have but dare not play as they are on 7"(made that misake with their label mate Badly drawn Boy,had ep' 2&3 and killed them through over playing them).Songs like 'it's just about the weather' and 'you make no bones' are a step above the other bands getting the recognition this year(starsailor,turin brakes ect),buy this album and support a brilliant new band....please!.

5.0 out of 5 stars sheer genius!!!!, 1 Mar 2001
I have now seen this band twice live, and have been some what amazed by the talent and diversity of Alfie. The album contains the brilliant "you make no bones" which has been played on MTV2 now for months but i haven't seen in the shops at all?! I'd reccommend this album if you're looking for something different but equally amazing. This band is going to HUGE in months to come! Well done Lee Gorton and co. keep the great songs coming!
