What are they waiting for? What a gorgeous album front to back. This lady deserves more credit than she was given. This needs a repress asap with the same sound quality because prices are insane. All decent albums deserving a reissue, very rare one time pressed originals going for $150+. It was certified 7× Platinum by the BPI; and sold over 12 million copies worldwide, making it the fourth best-selling album worldwide of 2003.
Life for Rent is the second studio album by English singer and songwriter Dido, released by Arista Records on 29 September 2003.
You know those albums, the ones that aren't great, but they're pretty good, but the only reason they cost so much is because they are more rare than demanded, so they just float there unsold for a very long time... in a sort of limbo... then every once in a while... someone buys one out of exasperation, which only keeps the madness going... while the sane keep waiting for a reissue.
That BASS, that DYNAMIC, this is amazing. Mariah's Butterfly was reissued recently as a picture disc, Ev's put out a box set, and reissued individual releases, and Dido?

Life For Rent I can't believe Analogue Productions (which now owns Classic Records) hasn't done a 45rpm reissue for this and No Angel.
The album was produced by Rollo Armstrong and American songwriter Rick Nowels. If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get Cos nothing I have is truly mine. Spinning this at the moment! While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try Well how can I say I'm alive. Work on the album began in mid-2002. The album became the seventh best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK, making Dido the only singer to have two albums …
My god this vinyl is a MASTERPIECE and the music is really aging very well. Data Correct Evanescence's Fallen, Mariah Carey's Butterfly, Dido's Life for Rent. But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get Cos nothing I have is truly mine.
