The $400 Vinyl Mystery: Camera Obscura’s "Lost" Debut Finally Returns

In 2001, Scottish indie pop band Camera Obscura released their debut album, Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi. The run was limited; just 1,000 on vinyl. Since then, prices for the record have stretched into the mid triple digits. Reissues have been whispered about for years, and now it's finally happening! Today we're taking a look at the history of the album and the Camera Obscura, from their humble beginnings through tragedy and hiatus, and now their triumphant return. 👉 Subscribe for More Videos: https://youtube.com/c/AndyFenstermaker/?sub_confirmation=1 ✉️ Read the transcript & hear the music on the Poetic Wax Substack: https://poeticwax.substack.com WATCH NEXT: ✓ Radiohead's "Let Down" https://youtu.be/cib584GTSWk ✓ The Smiths' "Vicar in a Tutu" https://youtu.be/GAKDcw4QG1M ✓ Blonde Redhead & Evil Morty's Theme https://youtu.be/d_IBsJ8h0Xo 🎥 2000s Indie Rock on Poetic Wax: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLylroYWVYWWUEOE1rd7mMCe50L3DHLrLi Get Camera Obscura's Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi on Vinyl 🎧 👉 Pre-Order on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4uT4V8F 👉 Pre-Order on Merge: https://www.mergerecords.com/product/biggest_bluest_hi_fi 👉 Pre-Order on Monorail: https://monorailmusic.com/product/biggest-bluest-hi-fi/ Poetic Wax is hosted by Andy Fenstermaker.
