===''Trailer Park''=== Her first solo single, a cover of [[The Ronettes]]' "I Wish I Never Saw the Sunshine", was released, again in extremely limited numbers, in mid-1996, and was followed by "She Cries Your Name", shortly before the release of what she herself considers to be her first LP ''[[Trailer Park (album)|Trailer Park]]'', released on [[Heavenly Records]] on 19 October 1996.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ferla |first1=Lisa-Marie |title=Beth Orton, Oran Mor, Glasgow |url=https://theartsdesk.com/new-music/beth-orton-oran-mor-glasgow |work=the Arts Deck |date=14 December 2012}}</ref> This release earned her nominations for two [[BRIT Awards]] (best British newcomer, best British female) and the [[Mercury Music Prize]] in 1997,<ref>{{cite news |title=Beth Orton tackles lack of women in music industry |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-31438617 |access-date=11 April 2020 |work=BBc |date=20 February 2015}}</ref> was well received by critics, and sold modestly well, selling 300,000 copies and peaking at No. 68 in the UK. The album presented Orton's signature sound, an innovative mix of acoustic-based songwriting and electronic beats and elements. She began to tour this record, first supporting acts such as [[The Beautiful South]], and appearing with [[Ron Sexsmith]], before touring on her own. In June 1997, she had her first [[UK Top 40]] hit single with a reissue of "She Cries Your Name".
