Home / Alternative & Indie / The Great Escape
A lavish, satirical peak of character-driven Britpop. Clever and tuneful. A snapshot of mid-90s Britain. Released in 1995, 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.
