The most unlikely of comebacks and arguably Mr Ryder’s greatest album, featuring ‘Reverend Black Grape’ and ‘Kelly’s Heroes’. Central Station talk below about this later commission, from MCA Records in Los Angeles, for Shaun Ryder’s reincarnation as Black Grape with ’It’s Great When You’re Straight…Yeah!’:

”Shaun has always been a man of many guises. We wanted to represent his talent for reinventing himself. As kids, we were fascinated by the face of 'Carlos the Jackal' and his many disguises, his giant square head a perfect shape for the cover. We wanted to incorporate the title of the album into the artwork, as it was such a great statement. We spent a long time working on the type, getting the feel right for the text, and making it fit the shape of the glasses.”
