Do not despair at Quarry's failure to reach number one! Chart positions, it would seem, can be exceedingly misleading. According to figures published in Music Week today (26th May), 'Vauxhall and I' reached number one with just 25,000 sales back in 94 whereas Quarry sold 75,000 in its first week. I imagine a Gold disc (100,000 sales) should be on the cards but, clearly, the sooner 'The First of the Gang' is released, the better!

1) Quarry is breathtaking and gets better with every play,
2) #2 is still great,
3) I was just in Manchester and I know Moz is #1 in the hearts of the British people.

Vauxhall vs. Quarry (Score:2, Insightful)
One other person here noted something like "after 10 years, don't you want to hear something else??". Yes, I do. And that's why I embrace Quarry - it's really good. But I will never tire of Vauxhall, and you can believe me when I say I've heard it literally hundreds of times. His rich, sonorous "crooner voice" on Vauxhall, and the highs of NowMyHeart, HoldOnToYourFriends, LifeguardSleeping, LazySunbathers, UsedToBe.... expecting Quarry to match that is just unrealistic. Instead, I'll appreciate Quarry on its own level and on its own terms.
