Заполучить бокс-сет можно будет с 30 июля. Цена песенного богатства Blur: 157.99 фунтов стерлингов (253 доллара).

Отдельным изданием выйдут все семь альбомов Blur на виниловых пластинках.

Отметим, что название последнего трека на диске «CD18 — “Rarities 4” (“Blur”, “13”, “Best of” & “Think Tank” era)» еще не объявлено. Наша догадка: это будет песня «Under The Westway», которая, вероятно, станет последним синглом в истории группы.
