Marchin' Already is the third album by Ocean Colour Scene.
The album was a follow-up to the successful Moseley Shoals , and is in a similar style. The songs were taken from the band's catalogue that they had built up since forming several years earlier.
The single "Hundred Mile High City" was used in the film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels . P.P. Arnold appears on "Traveller's Tune" and "It's a Beautiful Thing". A more subdued version of "Traveller's Tune" originally appeared as a B-side to "The Day We Caught the Train".
The album knocked Oasis' Be Here Now off the top spot in the UK Albums Chart—Noel Gallagher sent Ocean Colour Scene his congratulations through a plaque on which he had inscribed, "To The Second Best Band In Britain". Steve Cradock famously retorted "it's an honour to be described as Britain's second best band, ahead of Oasis but behind the Beatles".[ citation needed ]
In 2007 the song "Get Blown Away" was covered by British indie band The Enemy as a B-side to their single "It's Not OK", albeit just a piano and vocal version.
On 4 February 2014, Marchin' Already was reissued as a two disc deluxe version, with the second disc containing B-sides from previous singles.

Badmotorfinger is the third studio album by American rock band Soundgarden, released on October 8, 1991, through A&M Records.

The album maintained the band's heavy metal sound, while featuring an increased focus on songwriting compared to the band's previous releases. AllMusic considered the album's music to be "surprisingly cerebral and arty"; alternative tunings and odd time signatures were present on several of the album's songs, and lyrics were intended to be ambiguous and evocative.
