I just wish record companies would stop putting records in cardboard paper inners because this is what happens as a result. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse.

Similar to Blur - Blur but this copy does not mention Warner Music Company on the back cover or label copyright/publishing credits. I honestly felt like Damon was in the room on a few tracks (especially Beetlebum) and Grahams guitar parts piercing through the stellar mix. With Blur's 1997 self-titled album, the band would change direction and move away from Britpop in favour of a more lo-fi and alternative rock sound. As for the record's sound, think timeless British indie that has one foot in a 1990s glory era of British rock 'n' roll, and another in li-fi contemporary noise, all delivered with operatic drama. sono certamente influenzato dall'aver vissuto l'adolescenza negli anni 90, ma non si può negare che questo è un altro grande disco di quel decennio!Blu-ray audio disc on Parlophone, featuring the 10-track album mixed in Dolby Atmos by David Wrench and accompanied by a hi-res stereo mix. Blur's eponymous fifth album has now been remastered from the original tapes by Frank Arkwright, with the remastering overseen by legendary producer, Stephen Street. Accompanying their 2023 comeback tour, reactivated Britpop titans Blur announce their ninth studio album ‘The Ballad Of Darren’, also their first new music in eight years. This artwork, which we all thought was rather good even at the time, was splashed all over London and the LP won Best Album at The Brit Awards in 2003.

Not so much growing old gracefully as tackling challenges that come with it, it's though proving, poignant and grittily woozy.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Beetlebum, On Your Own, Death of a Party, Look Inside America and Strange News From Another Star are standouts, but the album highlight is Essex Dogs, a track that offers something new every time I listen to it. With Damon Albarn finally listening to Graham Coxon's advice for once, the album is an experimental, eclectic, fascinating torrent of inspiration.

Review: It's funny to think about the Blur v Oasis contest that defined British music in the mid-1990s. The success of 'Song 2' led to 'Blur' becoming the band's most successful album in the US where the Britpop scene had been largely unsuccessful.All image and audio content is used by permission of the copyright holders or their agents, and/or according to fair dealing as per the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Witty, ironic and irreverent, Parklife remains one of those rare albums that sum up a specific place and time (Britain in the mid-1990s).

The 1997 original was one of the band's most successful albums, including two monster hits in the form of "Beetlebum" and "Song 2". Similar to Blur - Blur but this copy DOES mention Warner Music Company on the back cover and label copyright/publishing credits.

Although Blur had long been recognised as one of the premier bands responsible for the reinvigoration of Britpop in the 1990s, it is 1994's Parklife that truly provided the template for the entire movement.
