Love this album so much. Here's wishing a reprint does come this year!

[@richardsalazar121]

It was reissued

Amazing record, one of the few 10/10 albums for me and I listen to it at least once a week since I discovered it a few years ago.

[@AndyFenstermaker]

So so good! I'm guessing that means it's your #1 Camera Obscura album. What would you list as your #2?

[@smarmosaur]

My favorite album of theirs is Let's Get Out Of This Country, followed by Desire Lines, My Maudlin Career and Underachievers Please Try Harder.

Murdoch produced Eighties Fan, but they have never been much at all like B&S musically, have they? While the departure of Henderson fundamentally changed the band, completely disagree with the assessment re. the quality o the first three LPs relative to the succeeding albums, particularly with regard to My Maudlin Career.

I have the same 2008 pressing and the new pressing from this year. So annoying you spend half the video saying what other bands it sounds like instead of actually talking about the record. There is no bad camera album all are amazing in own right
