They came relatively easily, always informed by the suspicion that these could be my last. When I finally was able to travel, songs in hand, to Berlin to work with my friends recording this record, the feeling was akin to the moment in The Wizard of Oz when the film changes from Black and White to Color. Now I’m feeling quite optimistic. My favourite color is pink. I hope you enjoy the album.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable on double vinyl (including download code with bonus track) and double CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParadise is Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Beggar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLos Angeles: City of Death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Parasite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Memorious\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMichael is Done\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Can't I Have What I Want Any Time That I Want\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnforming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide D.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo More of This\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVINYL DOWNLOAD BONUS TRACK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Beggar Lover (Three)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Mute","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40511717015625,"sku":"MUT2VSTUMM489XXX","price":31.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0017\/6685\/0633\/files\/SWANS_thebeggar_STUMM489_swans_FULL2_1080.jpg?v=1685641431","url":"https:\/\/mutebank.co.uk\/products\/swans-the-beggar-vinyl-mut","provider":"Mute Bank","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
