This is my all - time favorite Belle & Sebastian album. It's a masterpiece that you either love or hate, just like Marmite. 'The State I Am In' is an absolute gem, but don't miss out on 'Electronic Renaissance', 'I Could Be Dreaming', and 'I Don't Love Anyone'. With a total of 10 tracks, it's highly recommended. It comes in a classic black vinyl pressing. Released as their debut in 1996 and re - issued by Matador in 2014.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to drop the needle at the start of the first track. While listening, avoid sudden movements around the record player to prevent skipping. After each use, carefully clean the record with a soft, anti - static brush to keep it in top shape. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Don't stack too many records on top of it to avoid warping. And remember, handle it with clean hands to prevent fingerprints and dirt from affecting the sound quality.
