- Sleeve notes:
- When was the last time you went to a gig that ended up on the front page of a national broadsheet the next day? If you didn't make it down to Brighton, you probably went to up to your friends who did and said, "Christ, it looked like a nightmare". If you did go, you'll appreciate how weird this sounded, after we'd all returned from what was probably the best laugh it's possible to have in a British seaside town (Points in Camber notwithstanding).
- But the negative reactions were predictable, simply because if you look at a picture showing a quarter of a milion people packed onto a beach and promenade with blazing sun burning down, it's typically English to assume that they can't all be having a good time. Well sorry, but we were. And we made a bit of a mess, and some people hurt themselves, and Julie Burchill got a bit irate, but that was it. Here's something to shut the naysayers up: Early in the afternoon, a couple in their fifties, Brighton residents, came down to the promenade "to see what all the fuss was about". Four hours later, Camisra and Mighty Dub Katz blaring out, they were still there - surrounded by dads with their kids on their shoulders and drunken teens and nostalgic ravers and Londoners and Northerners and foreigners - still with smiles on their faces.
- But that's the thing about Norman Cook: He's a totally inclusive artist. Let's face it, how could a man in a shirt that bad have an agenda that was about anything more than making us dance like idiots, all of us, whoever we are or wherever we come from? But even he couldn't have anticipated just how massive this second Big Beach Boutique was going to become. It felt like a vindication for all of us who'd driven through the night looking for raves back in the day, for all us who'd watched fun-hating government kill the party, for all of us still talking about those times like they'd never return. It was as if the spirit of that era was suddenly finding a new outlet over a decade on; and as if to prove that there was nothing the authorities needed to fear back then, here we all were having fun peacefully, joyfully, heeding PA warnings sensibly, dancing and singing and pointing to the sky.
- And now we can all relive the best beach party this side of an old Frankie Avalon flick. Cover your living room floor with with pebbles, invite as many people round as you can possibly fit in your house, and load up this DVD. Check out the roar as the opening horn riff of "It Just Won't Do" fires up; watch as all the party people move as one to "Born Slippy"; and, perhaps best of all, work out exactly what a "groyne" is. If an hour and a half of the best dance music isn't enough, there's also tons of extras including and exclusive interview with the Beach Boutique bigwig himself, as well as Norm's own audio commentary on the event. And if you sit there thinking "It's just a bloke playing records, I could do that", then have a go matey! With the DJ Request section you can play the tracks in any order you want to (dodgy shirt and vodka'n'orange optional)...
- Back in the night, there was a bloke peering over the promenade wall, looking at the heaving mass of sunburnt ravers, separated from his friends on the beach, knowing he'd never get down there and fin them. But it didn't matter. He found new friends. We all did. 250,000 of them. And don't we all look like we're having the time of our life?
