Description
Limited edition repress on clear vinyl. Includes digital download. Unavailable on vinyl for many years.There are groups who grew up with Elefant Records, who were a turning point for the label and its development, and who fill us with pride when we look back and see their discography and the milestones they have reached. CAMERA OBSCURA are the group that Stuart Murdoch (Belle & Sebastian) discovered and which he became obsessed with, to the point of producing their third single ("Eighties Fan"), directing the corresponding music video, doing the arrangements on their first album, and so much more. We fell in love with that song and it made us license their first album, "Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi" for the whole world, and then sign them with Elefant Records and release their following two albums on our label for the entire planet, until they wound up signing with 4AD.The time has come to re-release those two sought after albums that have been out of print for so long on vinyl, "Underachievers Please Try Harder" (2003) and "Let's Get Out Of This Country" (2006). This is a special opportunity to acquire two LPs that haven't been available in stores for many years, that are absolutely delicious, and an absolute must for any pop lover's music collection."Let's Get Out Of This Country" is the album of maturity, the album of a group that has a solid international position and a third album that will immortalize them. It was recorded in Sweden and produced by Jari Haapalainen (Ed Harcourt, The Concretes), and with it, Tracyanne Campbell and company made the definitive leap with their arrangements, energy, harmonies and composition. Some of the musicians that recorded the strings had recently toured with Brian Wilson and Arthur Lee & Love. The album's collaborators incl-Jude Victoria Bergsman from The Concretes, Britta Persson and members of Swedish groups like The Tourettes, Laakso and Speedmarket Avenue. And we get "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken", "Tears For Affairs", "Razzle Dazzle Rose" and "Let's Get Out Of This Country" to confirm this. And of course, they toured the entire world, were heard on "Grey's Anatomy", and then signed to 4AD.
