Sadly it's not listed as being #12 on the exclusive series of disc releases...

But!
To quote @PaulatSDE:

This release is not part of the SDE Surround Series but Parlophone are giving SDE readers an exclusive 48 hour head start to acquire a copy. Also they are choosing to package it like the SDE ones, which is nice I really don’t know where else it may become available although my understanding is that it won’t be anywhere in north America.

To quote @PaulatSDE:

Fair enough

But!
To quote @PaulatSDE:

Very interesting that Parlophone are taking SDE seriously.
Are they treading the water with a view to future releases?

 

[SeeMoreDigital]

It might become a similar thing to the 'Everything But The Girl, Fuse' release, which became available on their own store web site. Maybe this Blur release will become available on their own store web site too.

But!
To quote @PaulatSDE:

Excellent news!

One worry for me - the mixes on this include Atmos, but not 5.1. On the SDE site it says "If you currently have a 5.1 set-up, the Atmos Mix will ‘fold down’ to 5.1." I don't have an Atmos set up, but Atmos mixes normally fold down ok for me to Dolby True HD. However, on the SDE Tears For Fears The Hurting bluray, the 5.1 mix is excellent, but when I switch to the Atmos mix it folds down to a 5.1 that doesn't sound right at all, with the fronts nowhere near loud enough. Hopefully the Blur disc won't be the same.

Also, slightly annoying that the 2 extra tracks on the deluxe version of the Blur cd don't seem to be included on this bluray edition.

One song already up in Atmos on Apple Music.

Nothing like their present day music.
But hey ho.

 

[colsky]

Probably my favourite Blur song, but not typical, so no help whatsoever!!

Brings back a lot of good memories.️

 

[Bill B]

I have heard of them but will probably pass on this one.
I will check out some of their songs today just to see if it’s my kind of music.

Hmmm, OK. I most certainly have not heard that song. And, I most certainly don't like it. Anywho - hopefully all you fans are super happy!

Alright, well I dig that song. Is that on the album that SDE is releasing?
