This very special silver vinyl anniversary edition of The Magnetic Fields' bonkers and brilliant masterpiece is due to land next month, and if you don't already own it, here's your chance to fill your heart with 69 new kinds of love. This is a must-have for lovers everywhere! - Flying Out
The scale of 69 Love Songs is absolutely staggering, and not just because of its sheer size and scope.
