Description

Choke is the second studio album by The Beautiful South and one of the band's most celebrated releases. Released in 1990, the album combines beautifully crafted pop melodies with the sharp, witty and often dark songwriting that became the band's trademark.

Featuring the UK number one single A Little Time, alongside favourites including My Book, Let Love Speak Up Itself, Tonight I Fancy Myself and I Think The Answer's Yes, the album reached number two on the UK Albums Chart and remains a classic of early 1990s British pop.
