Belle and Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap [25th Anniversary Edition]

€33,95
Belle and Sebastian's iconic, Brit-Award-Winning album gets a shiny reissue in pale blue colour-way to celebrate its 25th Anniversary.
Currently good stock Limited stock Currently unavailable

Twenty-five years after its original release, Belle and Sebastian have reproduced their most popular album The Boy With The Arab Strap in limited pale blue artwork with matching coloured vinyl; the original colour used in 1998 on the album’s promotional poster and T-shirt. This 25th Anniversary edition also includes an exclusive art print of behind-the-scenes photos from the promotional video for the album, taken by band member Sarah Martin.

 

The album was recorded in Glasgow at CaVa Studios during 1998. Videos were made at that time for Is It Wicked Not To Care, which inspired the 25th Anniversary art print, and Dirty Dream #2 (directed by Lance Bangs) which did not feature any band members. Belle and Sebastian were awarded Best Newcomer at the 1999 Brit Awards following the release of The Boy With The Arab Strap. Joining Stuart Murdoch on song writing duties on this album for the first time were band members Stevie Jackson, Isobel Campbell and Stuart David.

 

+ 25th Anniversary Edition includes gatefold sleeve, transparent pale blue vinyl and exclusive art print of behind-the-scenes photos.
