I'd recommend the early stuff. Start with Bandwagonesque. Let us know what you think and if you're still with us by then I can give you more commendations.What’s a good place to start with Teenage Fanclub? I’ve never really checked them out.

Grand Prix is the commercial hit but it's a bit bland really. Though I still love it.
Good advice. Wouldn't agree with Grand Prix being bland though! Quality tunes all round.
that's a coincidence! i was only just listening to a catholic education there over the weekend. hadn't put it on in years (close to 30 YEARS!!!) fantastic record. saw them supporting sonic youth in mcgonagles, and from the first screech of feedback i was hooked. later, i was disappointed by bandwagonesque (the production was way too shiny for me) and never really listened to them after that.
The statement indicates the issue was around future touring schedules, so I'm assuming he just doesn't want to do the touring?Doesn't seem like there was a massive row on the face of it, I'm just assuming that he doesn't want to do it any more.
As @rettucs said, Bandwagonesque is a good start. The run of albums that they have reissued just last week are all great as well - in particular, Grand Prix is superb, Songs from Northern Britain is equally good.What’s a good place to start with Teenage Fanclub? I’ve never really checked them out.
It's funny given where they went sonically that they sort of came up with that Grunge scene; early supports with Dinosuar (before they were junior) and the like. I like Catholic Education but I much prefer the jangly, harmony laden tunes they later developed. Top band!My mates went to this, I was in school at the time, and there was no chance of me getting up for it. The fuckers still remind me about it.
They raved about the support act, and brought back A Catholic Education, which I played plenty at the time alright. I wish they'd reissue that as well, it's a cracker for sure. Everything Flows - the hit of course, but still the absolute business. Some difference when Bandwagonesque came out though, much 'shinier', true enough!
He’s only a fuckin blow in anyway.Not to derail the thread but I was sure I'd read that Janick Gers was leaving Iron Maiden after the current(just ended) tour. I even looked it up this morning to check. Turned out I just dreamed it.
