Description

[Machine Translation] To commemorate the 21st anniversary of the first release of their debut album, the band's eponymous fifth album, "blur," has been remastered for the first time. The remastering from the original tapes was done by Frank Arkwright (who has worked with The Smiths, Arcade Fire, New Order, Joy Division, etc.) and supervised by legendary producer Stephen Street, who also worked on the original recordings. The album is supervised by legendary producer Stephen Street, who also supervised the original release. Following the release of Parklife and The Great Escape, blur was released in February 1997 and debuted at No. 1 in the U.K. charts. Symbolic of the band's musical evolution, the album spawned two of Blur's biggest hit singles, "Beatlebum" and "Song 2". The bonus disc included with the "blur Special Edition" includes the B-sides of both singles in all formats, as well as the B-side of the fourth single from the album, "M.O.R.". Also included is a 7" mix of "Death of a Party" by Adrian Sherwood, "Cowboy Song" produced by the Dust Brothers (from the "Dead Man on Campus" soundtrack), "Viva Nightclub" (from "Viva Niteclub (previously only included on the German single "M.O.R."), and the album "blur", which was recorded at the Fredenhulff Music Center (MC Vredenburg) in Utrecht, Holland. The live performance at the Fredenhulff Music Center (MC Vredenburg) in Utrecht, Holland, which was only included in the limited Dutch edition of the album "blur", was added.
