Twenty-five years on, My Life Story reissue their brit-pop classic Joined Up Talking, newly remastered and on vinyl for the first time, with a double coloured LP and a 3-CD set packed with B-sides and rarities. Full of the band’s sharp wit and ambition, the album includes singles like “It’s a Girl Thing,” “Empire Line,” “Walk/Don’t Walk,” and the pioneering first downloadable single “If You Can’t Live Without Me Then Why Aren’t You Dead Yet?”. Self-produced with Pete Gleadall in 1999, it plays like a late-millennium time capsule—referencing Lewinsky, Tamagotchis, Pret A Manger, the dot-com boom, and early digital life—while tracks like “The New New Yorker” and the early-written “I Don’t Believe in Love” showcase Shillingford’s signature narrative flair and classic songwriting roots.
