''Amateur Night in the Big Top'' is the first official solo album by Shaun Ryder, of Happy Mondays and Black Grape. The album is subtitled "Clowns and Pet Sounds". It was released in September, 2003 and co-produced by Pete Carroll, Shane Norton and Cabaret Voltaire's Stephen Mallinder. It was recorded in Perth, Australia and released on the Offworld Sounds record label run by Ryder's cousin Pete Carroll and Mallinder. Carroll also founded littleBIGMAN records with Happy Mondays drummer Gaz Whelan and currently manages The Panics ,Tim and Jean, Meg Mac and Georgia Fair. ==Recording== The album was recorded following a Happy Mondays Big Day Out tour of Australia. Shaun Ryder stayed on in Australia moving into Pete Carroll's house where he heard tracks Carroll and Shane Norton were working on for Offworld Sounds. "Our Pete just said, 'Tell us a story.' I've got that many, Pete reckoned I should record them once and for all" said Shaun Ryder. Ryder was keen to work on some new material and over a period of early morning sessions in Carroll's garage studio Amateur night in the Big Top began to take shape. The album was never conceived as a commercially focused release-it's an honest hard edge punk record. There's an overall feel and concept; Ryder's lyrics are autobiographical, touching on his early days with Happy Mondays in "The Story" and "1987" while "Clowns" and "Long Legs" express his feelings about the music industry and the legal issues he was facing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amateur Night in the Big Top」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
