About She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter [Bonus Tracks]

She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter is the third album from British band, The Blow Monkeys, originally released in 1987. The album title was a reference to the then-Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher, whose Conservative government was unpopular with left wing, pro-Labour Party music acts of the 1980s (including The Blow Monkeys), some of whom joined the Red Wedge movement as part of their political activism. Some titles and lyrics on this album reflected the dissatisfaction of Dr Robert and The Blow Monkeys with the then political situation in the UK. After a gradual shift towards a slicker, pop-oriented style, The Blow Monkeys also introduced a dance beat, which became a defining feature of the band's later releases. more »
