The Charlatans / Then LP Picture Disc Vinyl RSD 2026

Beggars Banquet are celebrating Record Store Day 2026 with the announcement of The Charlatans “Then”, released as a special edition 12” picture disc. Originally released in 1990, “Then” was the band’s third single and a key moment in the early story of The Charlatans, following breakthrough releases on Beggars Banquet imprint Situation Two. A shimmering, groove-led track driven by bubbling bass, hypnotic rhythms and Tim Burgess’s unmistakable vocal, “Then” further cemented the band’s place at the forefront of the UK indie music scene. The audio for this release has been remastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road. The picture disc also features fan favourite “Taurus Moaner”, alongside “Taurus Moaner (Instrumental)” and “Then (Alternate Take)”, offering a deeper look at the band’s creative evolution during this formative period. This release marks the third and final instalment in Beggars Banquet’s Record Store Day picture disc series celebrating The Charlatans’ early singles, following “Indian Rope”(RSD 2024) and “The Only One I Know”(RSD 2025). Together, the series captures the band’s rapid rise and the sound of a moment that defined a generation of British indie music. -
