Ichabod and I by The Boo Radleys

Ichabod and I was where the Boo Radleys began: their 1990 debut, released on the small indie label Action Records by a band that had come together in Wallasey two years earlier and borrowed its name from Boo Radley, the character in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Sice sang and played guitar, Martin Carr played guitar and wrote the songs, Tim Brown handled bass, and Steve Hewitt sat behind the kit, long before he turned up in Placebo.

It's indie rock with the edges still rough, a scrappy first sketch from a band that would later get swept up in shoegaze and then Britpop. "Kaleidoscope" is the song that stuck. The album has never been issued on CD, which makes it a collector's curio, and Everything's Alright Forever came next.
