Album Notes Japanese version. The Monochrome Set's third record initiated their long and rewarding relationship with Cherry Red Records, after an artistically fruitful but commercially unsatisfying tenure at the Virgin subsidiary Dindisc. Cherry Red was a perfect fit for the band's blend of quirky pop melodies and sardonic, often satirical lyrics, and everything about this album, from the stylish yet odd packaging to the stellar contents, is immensely satisfying. This is probably the best of the Monochrome Set's many studio albums. Highlighted with two excellent singles, the dryly witty political portrait "The Jet Set Junta," and the deceptively serious "Cast a Long Shadow," ELIGIBLE BACHELORS also includes some of singer/guitarist Bid's most savage songs, such as the cheerfully rude "The Mating Game," the biting "The Ruling Class," and the self-deprecating "Cloud 10." One of the most essential of this band's many albums.
