Marchin' Already is a 1997 album by Ocean Colour Scene.
The album was a follow-up to the successful Moseley Shoals, and is in a similar style. The songs were taken from the band's catalogue that they had built up since forming several years earlier.
The single Hundred Mile High City was used in the film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Nodding a reference to northern soul, P.P. Arnold appears on Traveller's Tune and It's a Beautiful Thing. Traveller's Tune originally appeared as a B-side to The Day we Caught the Train.
The album knocked Oasis' Be Here Now off the top spot in the UK Albums Chart - Noel Gallagher sent Ocean Colour Scene his congratulations through a plaque on which he had inscribed, "To The Second Best Band In Britain." OCS frontman, Steve Cradock, said it was an honour to be described as Britain's second best band, ahead of Oasis but behind the band Cradock considered the best, the Beatles.
