On is the second studio album by English alternative rock band Echobelly. Gaining a favourable response from critics,[3] the album reached number 4 in the UK Albums Chart becoming their most commercially successful album. The album spawned three top 40 singles two of which managed to reach the top 20. On 21 July 2014, a 2CD expanded edition of the album was released with B-sides and previously unreleased live performances.[4]
The album title was inspired by a poster found by Glen and Sonya. The poster had the word "no" across it in blood red. By turning the word around, it became a positive, and thus decided to title the album On.[5]
All songs written by Sonya Madan and Glenn Johansson.
Tracks 1-13 Live at Wetalands NYC - 9 September 1995, and Tracks 14-17 from the John Peel BBC Radio One Session - 1 April 1995 [4]
