"One Love" was the Stone Roses' big stand-alone statement of July 1990, a single that never belonged to an album, and it gave them their highest UK chart placing yet at number four. Ian Brown and John Squire wrote it and John Leckie produced it, and it rides a loose-limbed, hypnotic groove, chiming guitar over a rolling rhythm section, with Brown's detached, dreamy vocal floating on top.
It came out on Silvertone, and since it had no album to call home, it has turned up on the compilations Turns into Stone, The Complete Stone Roses and The Very Best of The Stone Roses.
