Why is this Charlatans Music Art Print a perfect gift for Charlatans fans?

Charlatans fans own the records, but very few have read the credits on Different Days closely. Drawn as a Charlatans art print, the studio albums run in order from Some Friendly onwards, with each credited musician as their own line. One of those lines belongs to a crime novelist, which is exactly what the sleeves never point out.

Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free. Produced unframed or framed. Deeply researched and designed by me in East Sussex.

I plot these in CAD software. Every credited musician becomes a transit line, every album becomes a station, and anyone who appears only once gets a branch line of their own.

The stations run chronologically from Some Friendly in 1990 to We Are Love in 2025: fourteen studio albums by the band, with no solo records on the map.

This band has lost two members and kept going, and the map shows both breaks plainly. It also shows something else: the guest list got stranger the longer they lasted.

The last decade of records is the densest part of the print by a distance. It rewards every closer look.

Contributing musicians on the discography tube map

Tim Burgess is on all 14. Martin Blunt's bass runs every album, and Mark Collins joins on guitar from Between 10th and 11th and never leaves.

Rob Collins's keyboard line ends at Tellin' Stories in 1997, completed shortly before his death, with Tony Rogers taking the chair from Us and Us Only. Jon Brookes drums from the debut through Who We Touch in 2010, and Pete Salisbury picks up from Modern Nature.

Tellin' Stories brings in Martin Duffy of Primal Scream and Tom Rowlands of the Chemical Brothers, and Wonderland is produced around Daniel Lanois with Jim Keltner on drums.

Penny Rimbaud of Crass appears on Who We Touch, which is not a sentence anyone expected to write about this band.

Different Days in 2017 is the busiest station on the whole map, with 19 credited musicians. Johnny Marr and Paul Weller both play on it, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert of New Order appear, Anton Newcombe and Kurt Wagner turn up, and so do the writer Sharon Horgan and the novelist Ian Rankin.

FAQ

Who are the constant members?
Tim Burgess and Martin Blunt across all 14 albums, with Mark Collins from 1992 onward.

When does Rob Collins's line end?
At Tellin' Stories in 1997, completed shortly before his death. Tony Rogers takes the keyboard chair on the following album.

Is Ian Rankin really on a Charlatans album?
Yes, on Different Days in 2017, alongside the writer Sharon Horgan, Johnny Marr, Paul Weller and two members of New Order.

Which album has the most musicians?
Different Days, with 19 credited contributors.

Does the map include the solo records?
No. The map plots the band's 14 studio albums only, so Tim Burgess's solo records are not on it.

What are the framing options?
Unframed, or supplied framed and ready to hang.

How is this different from a Charlatans poster?
A standard poster is printed fast on thin, glossy stock. This is a Giclée art print on 230gsm archival acid-free fine art paper with a textured matte finish, so the fine line work stays sharp and the colours hold. It is available in A3, A2 or A1, unframed or in a wood frame.
