Special Blur, Special Thanks!!!

This album is completed with non-album tracks and B-sides. I'm not the special collector, but I'm Blur's Fan, I'm infatuated with Blur.
These tracks are catchy and ironic.
'Mace' is witty, track12 'Anniversary Waltz' and track15 'Supa Shoppa' are like the atmosphere of 'Lot105' in 'Parklife'.
oh! my love! my favorite song is track9 'Maggie May' in this album. really, really lovely song. . .
I cannot help loving Damon's voices.
Besides track16 'Beard' is jazzy, you will listen to the sound of jazzy Blur.
so. . . all the tracks are the special tracks to me.
I wish you will meet the special Blur.
Always,,, thank you, Blur.


Depends what you're after
If you are a total Blur fanatic and you feel the need to hear every song they ever released then you should buy the anniversary box set which contains 127 songs, including all the b-sides from every single they released up until 1994. Whether this CD is worth buying depends on a couple of things, namely your devotion to Blur and your cash flow situation. If you are not that devoted and you can't afford the price of the box set (which is perfectly understandable) this CD provides a good sample of those b-sides, showing that Blur b-sides and throwaways are better than those of most bands. Not every track here is a winner but you wouldn't expect them all to be, such is the nature of b-side collections. But the quality is mostly very good and proves (if anyone really needed convincing) that Blur is one of the best and most inventive groups of their time. P. S Good luck finding this CD outside of Amazon!.


Essential songs for your collection
Psychedelic ramblings blur into sugary pop throughout this retrospective of quirky songs. From the sexy bass of "Mace" to the intellectual "Threadneedle Street," this CD is full of classic blur b-sides from day 1 to the Parklife era. For blur fans, this CD is a must.
