I Should Coco

SUPERGRASS Released Their Buzzing And Fuzzing Debut Album ‘I SHOULD COCO’ 30 Years Ago Today

Significant LongPlayers from yesteryear

15 May 2025

Britrock stars SUPERGRASS (1993-2010, 2019- present) fronted by Gaz Coombes (who
also has 4 solo albums on his mantelpiece) released their adrenaline-fueled debut longplayer I SHOULD COCO on 15 May 1995, today 30 years ago.

Culturally, the album’s glorification of teenage freedom made a very big impact on
the overall Britpop music scene. The whole genre was seen as the voice of youth, but
Supergrass, still teens themselves when the album was made, addressed the subject
with more insight than most.

The album title is Cockney rhyming slang for “I should think so“.
It topped the UK Album Charts.

NME said: “They play with the skill and assurance of a band who’ve been going for
decades yet they still burn off the buzz of being new to the game. There’s nothing
contrived about ‘I Should Coco’, nothing added for effect.”

Album: PARKLIFE – their 3rd LP

Four times platinum.

The album was originally going to be entitled London and the album cover shot was going to be of a fruit-and-vegetable cart. Albarn stated tongue-in-cheek, “That was the last time that Dave Balfe was, sort of, privy to any decision or creative process with us, and that was his final contribution: to call it London“. The cover refers to the British pastime of greyhound racing.
