2xLP 20th Anniversay Edition Pressed On Black Vinyl 180g
Trainspotting concerns the adventures of a group of young, nearly criminal, drug-addicted Scottish friends. The novel, written by Irvine Welsh, became one of the most popular books in the British indie scene in the early '90s and was adapted to film in 1996 by the makers of Shallow Grave.

The entire soundtrack holds together surprisingly well, as the techno tracks balance with the pop singles.
