To celebrate 30 years of Blur’s The Great Escape, the band will be releasing a 30th Anniversary edition on 2xLP, which includes a bonus disc of rare B-sides that have never been released on vinyl before.

Originally released on September 11, 1995, this iconic album captured the spirit of Britpop at its peak and marked a defining moment in the band’s career.

The Great Escape was the follow-up to Blur’s global breakthrough album Parklife and it charted at no. 1, selling over 125,000 copies in its first week, going on to achieve Triple Platinum status in the UK (900k+ sales to date).

Featuring the hit singles “Country House” (#1), “The Universal” (#5), “Stereotypes” (#7) and “Charmless Man” (#5). The singles have combined UK sales of over 1.8m, with over 60m YouTube views and combined global streams of 335m+

It defined mid-’90s Britain, both the optimism and the underlying malaise and ultimately became the record that placed Blur at the heart of one of the most talked-about moments in music history.
