England Made Me is the debut studio album by British singer and musician Cath Carroll, released by Factory in 1991. The album was reissued by LTM in 2002 with a rearranged track order and four bonus tracks.
Two singles were released from the album: "Beast" in 1990 and "Moves Like You" in 1991.In 1988, Carroll signed to Factory Records as a solo artist and began working on her debut album, England Made Me, which was named after the 1935 novel by Graham Greene. The album was recorded at Fon Studios in Sheffield, Cardan Studios in Sao Paulo, Blackwing Studios in London and at the Chicago Recording Company.[5]
Carroll was inspired to give some of the songs a Latin influence after she was introduced to Batucada music and saw the London School of Samba. She told New Musical Express in 1990, "I wanted to do something with those rhythms because I listen to them a lot. There is a danger of falling into being a cheap version of David Byrne or Paul Simon but I don't think that really affects me. It's just that I feel Batucada is very similar to rockabilly and cajun, which are musics that I like."
The album's title track was inspired by Carroll's disillusionment with England, including Thatcherism as well as everyday problems such as the crowded conditions and regular cancellation of trains on the London Underground. She decided to move to Chicago in 1989. She told New Musical Express that the song is about "urban decay" and described it as "kind of my Billy Bragg number". "Train You're On" was the result of a recording session with Steve Albini in Chicago.
