Camera Obscura will celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi, with a vinyl reissue The Out-of-print LP, will drop on May 8 via Merge Records. The forthcoming edition of Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi will be pressed to vinyl, featuring both “Eighties Fan” B-sides — “Shine Like a New Pin” and “Let’s Go Bowling.”

In addition to the black LP available from Merge Records, a limited edition, green and gold swirl vinyl edition, which includes a band-signed facsimile of the flyer advertising the release of “Eighties Fan,” is available exclusively from Glasgow’s Monorail Music. “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.”

Camera Obscura are also announcing a change to their upcoming North American tour: “Due to unforeseen circumstances,” they note, “we regretfully have to cancel our planned shows in Guadalajara and Queretaro in Mexico in June.” Fans in Mexico can still see Camera Obscura in Mexico City at their June 5 engagement at Grand Forum Coyoacán. In addition, fans in California will now have an opportunity to celebrate songs from throughout Camera Obscura’s stories career with the addition of three new shows. Tickets for these new dates go on sale Friday, May 27 at 10am local time.
