Up until 25 years ago, nobody had dared to dream that "my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off" could be a line in a love song. Well, if you like that one, there are 68 more wonderful, sometimes weird, whimsical, or downright wacky love songs where that came from. 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. Stephin Merritt and his Magnetic Fields have crafted one of pop music's most beautiful and inspiring tributes to love. Magnetic Fields’ classic 1999 rumination on, of course, love. Funny, smart, dark, memorable, and a lifetime’s worth of listening. Stephin Merritt solidifies his songwriting genius on his “most ambitious and fully realized work"
