With Love And Squalor was the major label debut album from rock band We Are Scientists. It was released in the UK in October 2005 on Virgin Records and charted at No. 43, with a large cult following that enabled it to, after nearly six months of release, gain a Gold certification by the BPI in 2006. The album sold an average of over four thousand copies each week before it got the certification.The album title is derived from a JD Salinger short story, For Esm with Love and Squalor, which was originally published in The New Yorker and subsequently in Nine Stories, a compilation of Salingers short stories.2025 is the albums 20th anniversary, and for this the band have curated this expanded double vinyl edition, pressed onto Pink LP1 and Red LP2 coloured vinyl, with the second LP made up of nonalbum tracks, Bsides, live and acoustic tracks, and the artwork featuring unseen images from the bands archive.The band will be embarking on a miniWinter UK tour to celebrate the milestone.
