As a slightly obsessive Blur fan, I think this box-set is worth owning if only for the art-work, some of the most attractive and witty ever to appear on CDs. Many of the tracks inside make you wonder why they were never included on Blur's albums: the Beatles-ey homage to adolescence 'Young and Lovely' should definitely have appeared on 'Modern Life is Rubbish', while 'All Your Life' is a brilliantly melancholic Bowie-esque song that was inexplicably missed off 'Blur'. It's interesting to see foreshadows of Blur's many changes in sound through their B-sides, for example 'Bonebag', a beautiful ballad predating the likes of 'To the End' by 2 years. I found many of the tracks laugh-out-loud funny, such as the parody 'Rednecks' or 'Alex's Song' with a hilariously distorted vocal from Mr James: it's obvious that Blur shove all of their work out on record, without caring about any ensuing humiliation, but, hey, maybe that's why I love them. Many of the CDs contain between 7 and 9 tracks, so it's definitely good value, although obviously there are some nondescript or poor tracks, given Blur's prolific output. However I've given the set 5 stars for its fascinating journey through this definitively 90s band's career. Legislated nostalgia? Maybe. But as it's virtually impossible or extremely expensive to get hold of most of Blur's B-sides any other way, it's a trip you can't afford to miss out on.
