Che i Blur stessero lavorando a qualche cosa lo sapevamo ed eravamo anche a consocenza, dato che se ne è parlato più volte, di una possibile uscita discografica che comprendesse molti successi della band. Quello che probabilmente nessuno si aspettava, però, è che l’opera in questione fosse una vera e propria impresa titanica.

blur 21 album 2012Stiamo parlando di 21, una collection che conterrà l’antologia dei Blur con: le ristampe dei loro sette album di studio e 65 brani inediti, oltre 130 rarità, tre DVD, un libro in edizione da collezione con foto rare e inedite, una nuova intervista con la band e una speciale edizione limitata in vinile da sette pollici.

Mica male no? Il tutto in una collezione disponibile dal prossimo 30 luglio in un boxset ad hoc. Perché 21? (si chiederanno molti di voi). Beh a volte la soluzione più banale può essere la risposta giusta. 21 è il numero di dischi contenuti nel box della collection… e quindi ecco che i Blur hanno deciso di chiamare la collezione 21. Certo.. non brilla molto per fantasia come soluzione.. ma tant’è.

La band, inoltre, fa sapere che ciascun degli album in studio uscirà anche separatamente in una speciale ristampa, che conterrà un secondo disco di B-sides con delle chicche discografiche (bonus track e materiale esclusivo).

Insomma un pacchetto mica male no? E il prezzo? Ancora non si ha un prezzo ufficiale, ma a quanto pare il costo dell’intero box dovrebbe aggirarsi sui 250 dollari. Non poco, certo, ma il materiale è davvero tanto. Bene non resta che lasciarvi con l’intero elenco di quello che trovate nel box 21.
