"'It Ended on an Oily Stage'" was the first published single from British Sea Power's second album 'Open Season'. It reached number 18 in the UK Singles Chart and was critically praised, with the 'NME' giving it their Track of the Week award. It received heavy airplay from the alternative radio sector. This track was previously called "Elegiac Stanzas" but was renamed when the band questioned whether radio presenters would be able to pronounce it.
