"I Don't Want To See The Sights" comes from Between 10th and 11th, the Charlatans' second album, released on Situation Two in March 1992, and the whole band shares the writing credit: Tim Burgess, Mark Collins, Rob Collins, Martin Blunt and Jon Brookes. Burgess sings, Mark Collins plays guitar, Rob Collins keyboards, Blunt bass and Brookes drums.
Getting the record made took some doing. Guitarist John Baker had quit, with Mark Collins coming over from Candlestick Park to take his place, and Blunt ended up in hospital in September 1991. Sessions began at Rockfield Studios in Wales, and a fortnight in, Flood arrived to produce, pushing the band to play together live rather than stacking up parts one at a time. He mixed it too, with Paul Cobbold engineering.
