    I’ll add my two cents. Fell in love with this album when it came out and super happy to own it on vinyl now. This sounds terrific, comes in incredible packaging, and it’s insanely good music.

    Side B…chief’s kiss.

      One of the best pressings I own, period. Great mixing/mastering and dead silent, even between great tracks. A real pleasure to listen to

        I’m not sure how this release doesn’t have any reviews on here, so I’ll weigh in. It’s definitely a classic album and sounds simply fantastic. If I could have only one release by Belle & Sebastian on vinyl, this would be the one.
