Released 1997Alternative & Indie

A lo-fi, American-indie-inspired reinvention, home to 'Song 2'. Looser and rawer. A bold pivot away from Britpop. Released in 1997, it's a key entry in Blur's run.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
