the album cover for Bluetones - Expecting To Fly: 25th Anniversary (Blue) [Colored Vinyl]

Includes a 12" single featuring three previously unreleased demos (mastered for this compilation by Nigel Clark of Dodgy). Hailing from Heston in West London, The Bluetones (Scott Morriss - bass, Eds Chesters - drums, Adam Devlin - guitars, and Mark Morriss - vocals) arrived on the scene in 1995 with their debut single "Are You Blue Or Are You Blind?". They followed this up with "Bluetonic" and then "Slight Return", which reached # 2 on the UK singles chart. The debut album "Expecting To Fly" was released in February 1996, and went straight to # 1. This 3 LP box set contains the original 1996 album, a 12 track LP of non-album A- and B-sides, as well as the collection of pre-fame demos "The Early Garage Years". The box also contains the 12 x 12 booklet from the original limited edition sleeve. The three LPs are pressed on 180 gram blue vinyl.

🩷 Open My Records To Avoid Seam Splitting

In order to ship your records to you in the safest way possible, and to avoid seam splits, we recommend removing the record from the jacket when shipping. That said, we will never open sealed records and do this without your permission. If you would like your records shipped to you this way, please add Open My Records to your cart.

We will place your jacket and record inside a FREE protective poly with all shrink and hype stickers intact.

> Due to the current limited nature of music titles, ALL CD & Vinyl purchases are limited to FOUR copies per customer, per item. If you place multiple orders for multiples of the same title, your subsequent orders will be canceled.
