Notes

Recorded and mixed at Maison Rouge, Fulham, London & Townhouse Studios, London between January and May 1995.

Sticker on jewel case reads;
"Hey! Some info. about this band...
*This is their Virgin Records debut!
*Here in the U.S., Blur's 'Girls And Boys' became a top 10 alternative hit single in 1994 and the full length album Parklife sold over a million copies in the UK!
* The Great Escape's first single is "Country House" the video typifies Blur's knack for blending tart humor and unerring pop melodicism.

Don't miss Blur on their U.S. club tour this fall followed by a full-scale North American tour in early '96."
