Blur’s 1995 album The Great Escape marked the height of the band’s Britpop era, following the huge success of Parklife. A sharp, satirical portrait of mid-90s Britain, it features some of their best-known singles, including ‘Country House’, ‘The Universal’, ‘Stereotypes’ and ‘Charmless Man’ - all of which stormed the UK charts. Widely seen as a companion piece to its predecessor, the album captures the wit, energy and cultural reach that made Blur one of the defining bands of their generation. This 30th anniversary edition includes an extra disc of b-sides.
