There a whole lot of Belle & Sebastian vinyl coming this fall.
Matador Records announced yesterday it will be re-issuing all 10 albums from the heralded Scottish indie-pop band, starting with 1996’s Tigermilk and ending with last year’s The Third Eye Centre. The vinyl series is titled It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career, taken from a song title on 1998’s The Boy With The Arab Strap, and will be available for sale both individually or as a massive box set come October 6 in the UK via Jeepster, and October 7 via Matador.
