    no cracks and the quality it’s very good for a coloured press.

      Despite being a blur fan I never got into many of the b-sides even when flicking through them on the recent special editions. Picking this up was a no brainer to try to revisit them but nothing here really grabbed me even second time round.

      Some pleasant tracks but unless you're already familiar with and enjoy these tracks or it's a bargain - I wouldn't deem it essential personally.

      The translucent vinyl is nice and it's a quiet press, Just lacks any punch.

        Cool-ish album as I am a Blur obsessive, I like it however record two is a bit limp song wise. Pretty good B sides on record one.
        Like all Blur vinyl pressings thankfully; sounds excellent but not as good as the other first 3 vinyl albums. Not as dynamic and bold as them but worth a purchase. Lovely looking sky blue clear records.

            Label for side B is bubbled on my copy but I'll live with that . Agree with all the other comments. Sound is clean, a little trebly as often happens on colored vinyl but suits the Coxonophy. The music is great!

              My girlfriend give me this and We’re love it, my copy it’s clean, no pops, no cracks and the quality it’s very good for a coloured press.

                Great pressing of an interesting collection of songs. I picked this up just for "Theme From An Imaginary Film" and my listening experience rewarded me with some other gems. I do wish that these songs were presented chronologically, but that's a nitpick. If you're a Blur fan, you owe it to yourself to get this one.

                  Great quality translucent blue vinyl. Looks and sounds great. Very clean pressing. Not a gatefold but love the artwork and sleeve to this one. Some high quality B- sides too. It’s Blurs ‘Sci fi lullabies’ where the 1st disk is stronger and the 2nd more experimental with some instrumentals and a jazz number (nice!)

                    If anyone is confused, these are not actually numbered. They all say #877, that's just the artwork. Hope this helps clear any confusion.

                      Blur (especially early Blur, which this album covers) are easily one of my top 10 favorite bands and this album was one I had always longed for back in the day. $40 for a two record set ain’t too bad, and this thing sounds excellent so it’s money we’ll spent in my book.
