The Great Escape-Inspired Tracks
___________
FOR this Lockdown Playlist…
I am putting together tracks that relate to escape, breaking free and cutting loose. This is because Blur have released a twenty-fifth anniversary edition of their phenomenal album, The Great Escape. This article from NME provides more details:
“Blur have announced that they will release a limited edition split vinyl of ‘The Great Escape’ to mark the 25th anniversary of the seminal album.
The band’s fourth record arrived in September 1995 to widespread acclaim, featuring tracks such as ‘The Universal’, ‘Charmless Man’ and ‘Country House’.
Announcing the new vinyl release on Twitter today (November 26), the band shared a video of the coloured blue and white vinyl alongside the classic back cover – which sees the band posing as suited city workers.
You can buy your copy here”.
Because the legendary band are bringing this album to vinyl and providing this wonderful treat, these tracks are united by a theme of getting away, escape and freedom. Have a listen to these tracks and I hope that they…
