Vinyl love: Belle And Sebastian “The boy with the arab strap”

(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”
