Embrace Release History
“All You Good Good People” was the band’s debut single, released via the Fierce Panda label on limited edition 7in vinyl, in February 1997. Only 1300 hand-numbered copies of the single were ever manufactured.
B-side of the 7in was “My Weakness Is None Of Your Business”. Both A-side and B-Side were subsequently re-recorded and re-released, and both were top 10 charts hits, making the original Fierce Panda 7in one of the bands most sought-after collectors items.
“Fireworks” is the title track of the band’s first EP and their first release on Hut Recordings, also the first release from the band to reach the top 40 in the UK (#34).
The 4 track EP featured 3 songs that would eventually be included on the band’s debut album “The Good Will Out”, which reached #1 in the UK Album Chart in 1998.
The “One Big Family EP” was the second EP release from the band, it came out on Hut Recordings, with the title track featuring on the band’s debut album The Good Will Out. The EP narrowly missed the top 20, peaking at #21 on the UK Singles Chart. Many people do not realise that the lead track on this EP was actually sung by Richard, rather than Danny.
The songs “Dry Kids” and “Butter Wouldn’t Melt” from the EP are featured on the B-sides compilation, Dry Kids: B-Sides 1997-2005.
The song was also a chart hit for the band Templecloud in 2011, after their version of One Big Family was used in a TV advert for a well-known fast food outlet.
The “All You Good Good People EP” was released on 27 October 1997 by Hut Recordings, and was the third single from the #1 debut album The Good Will Out.
Produced by Youth, who would go on to produce the Verves Urban Hymns album, the release became the band’s biggest chart hit to date at that time, and the first to reach the top 10, peaking at #8.
The video for the US single featured a shaven-headed Danny portrayed as a Death Row inmate during his last day before execution.
