About
Blur, Britpop pioneers from London's vibrant 90s scene.
Over 13 studio vinyl albums, including 1994's Parklife; original LPs from Parlophone and Food remain sought-after.
Blur emerged from London's music scene in 1990, anchored by Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James, and Dave Rowntree. Their beginnings trace back to Colchester and London, later signing with Food Records for their debut. Early releases like Leisure (1991) set the stage before Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993) and Parklife (1994) catapulted them into the forefront of Britpop. Throughout the 90s and 2000s, Blur experimented with diverse styles spanning alternative, indie, and art rock, reflected in albums like Blur (1997), 13 (1999) and Think Tank (2003). Their catalog includes studio, live, and remix albums, with several pressings highly prized by collectors.
