"White Shirt" sits on Some Friendly, the Charlatans' 1990 debut album, and it's a three-way write between Tim Burgess, Martin Blunt and Rob Collins. By then the band had shaken out its early line-up changes, and all five play here: Burgess sings, John Baker plays guitar, Blunt bass, Collins keyboards and Jon Brookes drums.
Chris Nagle produced and mixed it, with Pete Coleman engineering, during album sessions that ran from March to August 1990 at Strawberry Studios in Stockport and The Windings in Wrexham. Some Friendly came out on Situation Two, a Beggars Banquet imprint, and wears its baggy, acid-pop colours openly, with the Beatles' psychedelic period never far away; even the album's mixed first reviews singled out Collins's keyboard work for praise.
