Blur - The Great Escape

I’ve always had a difficult relationship with this album. I didn’t like it when it came out and it’s still my least favourite blur album, even if I know that objectively it’s better than Leisure. That said in “The Universal” and “He Thought Of Cars” it has two absolute classic blur songs and I felt a compulsion to listen to it tonight.

Do any east coasters remember Strawberries Records & Tapes? Just decided to look it up from the stickers on this record. Sounds like it was a pretty popular record store chain in the east that eventually went under due to its ties to the mafia. Love figuring out some history with records, and is a big reason why I love the hobby. Also why first and older pressings are always my favorite.IMG_20200427_185121.jpg

@Mather I went and ordered this after I saw your post. Always loved this album but put off getting it. Thanks!

Oh man, the presence on that pressing is something special. Like you're sitting in the church with them. I hope it doesn't disappoint!
