(Vinyl Love is a series of posts that quite simply lists, describes, and displays the pieces in my growing vinyl collection. You can bet that each record was given a spin during the drafting of each corresponding post.)
Artist: Belle And Sebastian
Album Title: The boy with the arab strap
Year released: 1998
Year reissued: 2014
Details: black vinyl, 150 gram, gatefold sleeve
The skinny: On their third album, the Glasgow-based indie pop collective upped the beat some, resulting in a couple of danceable numbers, including the incredible title track. This is perhaps my favourite B&S LP.
Standout track: “The boy with the arab strap”

Beautifully packaged as ever. I find it hard to pick a favourite from the first three records, but I will say that this album has more experimentation than the two previous releases.

I’ve got the first 2 – it sounds like this would complete a pretty strong hat trick to start a career!

For sure! Personally, I think this one is stronger than the first two put together.
