2009 Album Releases: BLUR - MIDLIFE: A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO BLUR

This is only a compilation album but it has been built up as a catch-up record for casual listeners who may have missed out on Blur's illustrious career and the importance of them and the whole Britpop thing to music. By the way, don't you think the album title is amazing and makes perfect sense. The focus of this paricular compilation is their recording career highlights as opposed to their previous one, "Blur: The Best Of..." (2000) which was primarily about their commercial hits.

This is a brilliant idea and good marketing as they are currently on tour for some small shows before they headline the big-MOMMA Glastonbury. I look forward to reading reviews of their shows and see if they can still bring it live.
