On May 8, 2026, Camera Obscura celebrates the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi, with a vinyl reissue via Merge Records. Out-of-print on the format since its initial UK release on Andmoresound in 2001, the 25th anniversary edition is the most definitive version of of Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi ever pressed to vinyl, featuring both “Eighties Fan” B-sides — “Shine Like a New Pin” and “Let’s Go Bowling” — which were later added to expanded CD reissues of the album.
“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.”
