Just Enough Education To Perform (NAD24)

“Amid the great British bands that have inspired the theme of this year’s National Album Day,
Stereophonics continue to prove themselves to be one of the greatest. Originally formed in Cwmaman,
South Wales, in 1992, the group, now consisting of Kelly Jones (vocals, guitar), Adam Zindani (guitar)
Richard Jones (bass), Jamie Morrison (drums) and touring member Tony Kirkham (keyboards), made
their mark with the Words Gets Around (UK No.6) and Performance and Cocktails (UK No.1) albums, and
continued their chart-topping run with their third release, 2001’s Just Enough Education to Perform.
Remaining at the top of the UK charts for two weeks, the album sold 140,000 copies on its way to
becoming the fourth biggest-selling album in the UK in 2001. Re-entering the charts several times over
the next three years, it would be certified six-times platinum and crowned the 39th best-selling album of
the decade. With more than 400,000 copies sold to date and streaming figures sailing past the 340
million mark, Just Enough Education to Perform makes a welcome return to vinyl for this year’s National
Album Day, in an exclusive, limited-edition green pressing.
Beloved by fans, the album featured three Top 10 singles, ‘Mr. Writer’ and ‘Have a Nice Day’ making for
a timeless work that fuels Stereophonics’ continued appeal. Still releasing music today, the group have
continued their chart-topping streak, with their latest album, 2022’s Oochya!, becoming their eighth UK
No.1 album.”
