Scarlet and Other Stories is the second studio album by All About Eve. It was held to be considerably darker both in tone and lyrics than their first album, All About Eve. The relationship between lead singer Julianne Regan and guitarist Tim Bricheno broke down during the album's recording and production, and Regan later said that she hadn't wept as much in her life as she had during the making of this album.
Scarlet and Other Stories reached No. 9 in the UK charts with three Top 40 singles resulting from it.
Bold indicates a single release (with UK chart position).
All songs written and composed by Tim Bricheno, Andy Cousin, Mark Price and Julianne Regan except where noted.
This would be the last album by All About Eve to feature Tim Bricheno on guitars until Keepsakes seventeen years later. He was replaced in time for their third album Touched by Jesus by Church guitarist Marty Willson-Piper.
On 25 September 2015, Scarlet and Other Stories was re-released as a two disc format and audio download medium as part of Universal UMC "Re-Presents" series.
