Blur - The Spotify Radio Show - Programme 5, Link 1

Blur Remastered
The Spotify Radio Shows
Programme five
Just over 20 years ago, four musicians formed a band
That became one of the biggest musical forces
Of that decade. They were artists in the real sense of the word
They also became the cornerstone of britpop
They are Blur

Hello, I'm Gary Crowley
And over the next half hour
I'll be taking you through the fifth Blur album
These special Spotify Radio Shows celebrate Blur 21
A special 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
Extra disc of newly remastered bonus material
From all the B sides, unreleased tracks
Radio sessions, and fan club singles

Today's record saw Blur get their third UK number one album
When it was released in February 1997
It's now been remastered from the original tapes by Frank Arkwright
And overseen by legendary producer Steven Street
The album showed a real departure after The Great Escape
With the band working to redefine their sound
Damon Albarn has said that this track
Which became Blur's second UK number one
Was about a time in his life where things were quite clouded
The track is Beetlebum, the album is self-titled: Blur
