Good Feeling is the debut studio album by Scottish alternative rock band Travis. The album was released on 8 September 1997, on Independiente Records.[9][10] All four singles released from the album reached the UK Top 40 (with Tied To The 90s making to Top 30).
Background and release
Once set up in London, the band spent between nine months and a year recording new songs.
The album itself has a much more upbeat and 'rockier' sound than their subsequent releases and is often regarded as one of their best.[12] In 2000 the album was re-released, with the only differences being new album artwork (featuring a headshot of the band on a black background) and a slightly-tweaked version of "More Than Us".[13] In April 2021, Craft Recordings re-issued the album on vinyl with the original cover (featuring a full band shot with a mostly white background).[14]
