Camera Obscura - Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi - Vinyl Record
Very limited initial reissue. More on the way in July 2026.
Camera Obscura celebrates the 25th anniversary of their beloved debut album, Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi, with this definitive vinyl reissue via Merge Records. Originally released on vinyl in the UK through Andmoresound in 2001, this anniversary edition marks the album's triumphant return to the format after years out of print. This pressing includes both "Eighties Fan" B-sides—"Shine Like a New Pin" and "Let's Go Bowling"—previously available only on expanded CD reissues, making this the most complete vinyl version ever released. A must-have for indie pop collectors and longtime fans alike.
“We’ve been working towards a re-release of this album for some time now,” says Tracyanne Campbell, “so we’re really delighted that it’s happening and pleased that folk can finally have their own vinyl copy.”

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
