There are simply way too many single highlights from Blur’s catalogue to pass on viewing any but Press Here cut a rug big-time to There’s No Other Way in the day so here goes:

With vinyl currently going though a steady resurgence and swiping back a massive portion of the recorded music market (currently 0.02%) we’re pleased to see that some truly awesome albums are getting a second chance to see the light of day. EMI will gradually reissue the catalogues of both Radiohead and Coldplay on 180 gm vinyl with original artwork and liner notes through their newly created series, “From the Capitol Vaults”.

This begs the question whether EMI will roll out this series across all of its labels so that we can pick up some modern classics from acts like The Beastie Boys, Blur, Sigur Ros, Mansun, Morrissey etc.

With the Best Buy chain testing in-store real estate devoted to vinyl in certain markets, perhaps a mini-renaissance period awaits our large gate-folded friends.
