It is their highest-charting album to date, reaching No. 7 on the UK Album Chart. The album takes its title from the Beach Boys album Carl and the Passions – "So Tough".[9]The album was indebted to sixties classics, The Who Sell Out by The Who, Smile by The Beach Boys and Head by The Monkees. The album was originally intended as a concept album which starts at Mario's Cafe in London then travels around the world, however it came to be viewed as a solely London album.[10] Samples and referencesOne of the distinctive features of the album is the use of samples between the songs. The band were keen to use linking dialogue, similar to that used in The Who Sell Out or on contemporary hip-hop albums.[11] They are taken from a variety of sources including dialogue from film and television. The original sources include the films Peeping Tom, Billy Liar, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Lord of the Flies and That'll Be the Day, as well as the television series The Family and the 1958 stereo demonstration album A Journey into Stereophonic Sound. Additionally, the track "Conchita Martinez" features a recurring sample from the opening riff of Rush's 1980 hit "The Spirit of Radio".Martínez herself was a Spanish Grand Slam-winning tennis player in 1990s, who later went on to win the Wimbledon singles title. The band had intended to use a number of samples from American films, but the cost of clearing these samples led them to using primarily British samples.[11] The song "Mario's Cafe" was inspired by a real Kentish Town restaurant of that name.[12] CoverThe album cover features a picture of lead singer Sarah Cracknell aged 6 taken by her father Derek Cracknell.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} ReleasesThe album was reissued as a limited edition 2-CD set with You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone. The US release added "Join Our Club" (3:22), which had been a UK single in 1992. "Who Do You Think You Are" (3:49) is included on some US versions between "Here Come Clown Feet" and "Junk the Morgue". "You're in a Bad Way" (3:08), and "Hobart Paving" (4:57) are presented in their single versions, including extra instrumentation. The former is longer, while the latter features a drum pattern not present on the original version. The album was reissued on 31 August 2009, as part of the ongoing Deluxe Editions of the band's recordings. The new release features B-sides, rare and unreleased tracks.
