69 Love Songs is a three-volume concept album by The Magnetic Fields released in 1999. As its title indicates, the album is composed of 69 love songs, all written by  Stephin Merritt. The album was produced on Merge Records, a label started in the summer of 1989 by Laura Ballance & Mac McCaughan, the same summer they formed the band Superchunk in Chapel Hill, NC.

This was a gift from Jason Chan, acquired in Portland, OR, and moved to New York City: from Brooklyn to the Waterpod to Queens to storage. It is currently with me in Brooklyn.
