Belle and Sebastian's beloved third album 'The Boy With The Arab Strap' returns on limited blue vinyl and blue tint cover this autumn to celebrate the LPs 25th anniversary.

It's the soundtrack to staying too long in your college neighborhood and becoming one of those types who hold down library jobs.
