The Charlatans UK released their tenth studio album You Cross My Path as a free download from the English based radio station XFM’s website.

Frontman Tim Burgess explains “We always knew this album was gonna be given away for free, even before we started writing so we wanted to make it the best album we’ve ever made. This isn’t a case of left over tracks and b-sides, we wanted to give our fans a quality record.”

The physical release date originally scheduled to be released this month has been pushed back to June 3, 2008.
