The Lottery Winners ‎ "Anxiety Replacement Therapy" Modern Sky Entertainment ‎M9436-UK-LP Limited Edition, Picture Disc Vinyl, LP, Numbered 655 of 1000 issued by Blood Records in April 2023. The LP has never been played, so is in mint condition, as is the printed inner sleeve. The sleeve itself suffered some damage in transit and has a 4.5 centimetre split at the top edge (see photo).  
The Lottery Winners are an indie pop band from Leigh, Greater Manchester, England. The band was put together for record label Modern Sky in 2008 by Thom Rylance (vocals/guitar), Robert Lally (guitar/vocals), Katie Lloyd (bass/vocals), and Joe Singleton (drums).
The Lottery Winners' fifth studio album, "Anxiety Replacement Therapy", was released on 28 April 2023. It includes collaborations with Boy George, Frank Turner and Shaun Ryder. Lead singer, Thom Rylance, described the album as a "self-help tape" for those struggling in life. Anxiety Replacement Therapy was announced as the UK's number 1 album on 5 May 2023.
Alex Green of the Belfast Telegraph called the album a "star-studded affair" on account of its collaborations, and wrote that it "goes for the jugular with anthemic choruses and a maximalist indie rock palate". Green concluded that while "the album is redolent of the lad rock of Hard-Fi and the blissed out pop of Blossoms", its tracks "are delivered with enough energy and passion to make them worth your time".
Retro Pop Magazine described Anxiety Replacement Therapy as "loud and bombastic; a guise for the thinly-veiled lyrical content that speaks openly on various stages of mental illness, from depression and stress to reclusiveness and obsessiveness", as well as "intrinsically personal yet speaks to a range of emotions that have become a part of everyday living for many, for a finely-crafted collection of commercial hits that pack a meaningful punch".
