Available on double coloured vinyl, there is also a 3xCD package on offer, full of B-Sides, rarities, and period gems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrimming with wit, ambition and unmistakable My Life Story flair, Joined Up Talking features the singles It’s a Girl Thing, Empire Line and Walk\/Don’t Walk, plus the groundbreaking world’s first downloadable single If You Can’t Live Without Me Then Why Aren’t You Dead Yet?.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelf-produced with programming wiz Pete Gleadall at Parkgate Studios in 1999, the album has the feel of a millennium time capsule. References to Monica Lewinsky, Tamagotchis, Pret A Manger, the dot-com boom, and even megabytes of storage reflect the everyday vocabulary of the turn of the century with Shillingford’s typically irreverent style. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross album tracks like “The New New Yorker”, Shillingford stitches together topical newspaper headlines into surreal narratives, while “I Don’t Believe in Love” — originally written when Shillingford was 17 — reveals the band’s roots in classic songwriting traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding up to the release fans have enjoyed accessing a treasure trove of archive material from the era — digitised tapes, press cuttings and photos — which Jake has shared on his Patreon page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy Life Story will also perform the album in full alongside a career-spanning “best of” set on special tour dates throughout December.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Exilophone Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45445641863324,"sku":"MLS17LP","price":37.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/2lp_514a6078-4b84-445e-83fc-836896e66984.webp?v=1761240299","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/my-life-story-joined-up-talking-25th-anniversary-edition-colour-2lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
