Blur - The Spotify Radio Show - Programme 4, Link 1

Blur Remastered
The Spotify Radio Shows
Programme four

Just over 20 years ago, a band formed in a South London art college
Who became one of the biggest musical forces of that decade
They also became the cornerstone of britpop
They are Blur

I'm Gary Crowley, and over the next 30 minutes
I'll be taking you through the fourth Blur album
These special Spotify Radio Shows are in celebration
Of Blur 21
A unique anniversary for the band
Commemorating the huge remastering exercise
For both Blur and EMI
Of all of Blur's albums to date

Each album has been reissued with an entire disc
Of newly mastered bonus material
From all of the B sides, unreleased tracks
Radio sessions, and fan club singles
Today we look at Blur's second UK number one album
Which was released in September 1995

It's been remastered from the original tapes
By Frank Arkwright
And overseen by the legendary original producer
Steven Street
I think we can only start at one place for this show
The band's first ever number one UK single
The track is of course Country House
And the album is The Great Escape
