Advantages: Lovely Songs Disadvantages: Only 8 tracks and 23 minutes long
A Distant Shore released back in 1982 was until a few weeks ago Tracey Thorn's only solo Album. In March 2007 she released her second solo Album "Out of the Woods." Tracey Thorn is however better known not as a solo Artist but as one half of the successful duo Everything But The Girl, with husband, Ben Watt.
This Album was recorded when Tracey was only 19 years old in the year before she met her future husband, Ben Watt. Prior to the recording of this Album, Tracey had been a member of a Punk Band called The Marine Girls who had released two successful Indie Albums. Tracey however decided that she wanted to experiment with more Acoustic sounds and as she headed off to Hull University it was just an Acoustic Guitar that accompanied her.

Advantages: Some Great Songs Disadvantages: A Couple Of Weaker Tracks
Tracey Thorn is probably best known as one half of the duet, Everything but the Girl, but here on this album, "Out of the Woods", we see her leaving hubby, Ben Watt temporary aside and embarking on a solo project. This recording is her first solo Album for two and a half decades following on from "A Distant Shore" released back in 1982, which is probably before many people reading this review were actually born.
This Album was released in the UK on the 5th March 2007, following hot on the heels of the release of its first single "Its All True" a couple of weeks earlier.
There are eleven tracks on this Album as below:
Here it comes again
A-Z
It's all true
Get around to it
Hands up to the ceiling
Easy
Falling off a log
Nowhere near
Grand Canyon
By Piccadilly Circus I sat down and wept
Raise the roof
The Album opens ...
Advantages: taste, price Disadvantages: not as good as heinz
Branston Baked Beans...................
I am very partial to baked beans on toast (covered in cheese) or indeed I have been known to eat them cold straight from the can either way I have always bought Heinz as they are literally the ultimate baked bean. However as Branston Baked Beans have been on special offer in Tesco's recently (buy 4 for £1) I snapped them up and was pleasantly surprised.
The Branston Baked Bean tin design is a lot different from that of the Heinz tin. Of course it still has a picture of some beans on the front but instead of the Heinz green label Branston's is silver and looks just as good as its rival.
The beans inside the tin look pretty much the same as Heinz with the thick red/orange sauce and the tin full to the top with beans and juice. The smell again is practically the same only Branston ...
