Dan Hegarty – The Alternative: For The Record – ‘Attack Of The Grey Lantern’ by Mansun – Sunday, November 5 to Thursday, November 9

UK act Mansun never reached the heady heights that their Britpop comrades Oasis, Blur, or Pulp attained, but that’s not to say that they didn’t etch their name name in the songbook that chronicles music’s history during the mid and late 1990s.

Their debut album ‘Attack Of The Grey Lantern’ appeared in 1997, and featured excellent tracks like ‘Wide Open Space’, ‘Taxloss’, and ‘The Chad Who Loved Me’. Dan features tracks from ‘Attack Of The Grey Lantern’ in his For The Record spot all this week on The Alternative. He chats with former Mansun vocalist Paul Draper on Wednesday’s show.
