Formed in 1990, originally called Mr. Soft (later shortened to Soft) and comprised of guitarist and back up vocalist Mark Potter, bassist Pete Turner and drummer Richard Jupp.  Vocalist, guitarist and lyricist Guy Garvey was asked by Mark to join the band when they met at college (both were 16 at the time). Mark's brother keyboardist and back up vocalist Craig Potter joined soon afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey changed their name to Elbow in 1997 after Guy heard a character from a BBC TV Drama \"The Singing Detective\" say that the word \"Elbow\" is the most sensual word in the English language, not for its definition, but for how it feels to say and how it looks on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey were also signed by Island Records in 1997, but due to a takeover and indie band jettison-attitude by Universal in 1998, their Steve Osborne produced debut album was scrapped.

From start to finish, this record is filled with heartfelt lyrics and emotive melodies. The band's ability to blend an array of styles within each song is remarkable, never feeling forced or contrived. The instrumentation is lush and the production is polished, allowing for each song to fully shine and be appreciated. Every track is a journey, with unexpected twists and turns that manage to stay true to the overall sound of the album. Leaders of the Free World is an incredible piece of art that stands the test of time and will remain a classic in the years to come. Highly recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp;
