About
Blur – The Great Escape (30th Anniversary Edition)
The Great Escape is Blur’s ambitious fourth studio album and a defining statement of the Britpop era. Packed with sharp social observation, grand arrangements and dark humour, the album captures the band at their most expansive and theatrical. From the chart-topping Country House to fan favourites like The Universal, Charmless Man and He Thought of Cars, the record balances catchy pop with underlying melancholy and critique of mid-90s British life.
This double-LP reissue gives the album space to breathe on vinyl, enhancing its dynamics and detail, and is an essential addition for Blur collectors and Britpop fans alike.

This special 30th anniversary edition is pressed as a half speed mastered double 2×LP on coloured vinyl with expanded artwork and a second disc of rare B‑sides and bonus tracks, several of which have never before appeared on vinyl. It’s a standout reissue for collectors and fans of Britpop’s classic era.
