An immense collection!! Particularly love the rough cut tracks on 'Mysteries & Rarities' in Singles Collection by The Coral: 'Seagulls', 'Calendars and Clocks' demo, a 'Shadows Fall' instrumental & a cover of the Everly Brothers’ 'Bye Bye Love' & so much more…#NowPlaying

I’ll say it again, it’s the resigned sadness that immediately grabs your attention; honest rather than heavy. There’s no over-dramatisation here; the melancholy just exists & it’s the contrast with the melody that makes it hit home so hard. The perfect song! Bill McCai #TheCoral

Whilst 'Jacqueline' is my favourite song of theirs, due to its sentiments & melody, that transports you, I’d posit the view that the suburban nightmare as exemplified in 'Bill McCai', & written with such foresight, makes it The Coral’s greatest song…
