Today's Rewind selection from 20 years ago isn't a single, but a track from a brilliant album which contained no singles. The magnificent moment is from Belle And Sebastian's third studio album 'The Boy With The Arab Strap', released on 7 September 1998. One of the essential end-of-summer records, with a charming Glasweigan sound. Back in the late 90s, the Scottish indie chamber pop combo were very cool, highly praised and respected on the independent scene. Their quiet, humble brand of delicate, folk-flavoured music was a refreshing contrast to the high profile bombast of Britpop. After a number of EPs and albums, 'The Boy With The Arab Strap' found the band at their creative peak.
