Description:â?¢ 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 â??Are You Blue Or Are You Blind?â?. They followed this up with â??Bluetonicâ? and then â??Slight Returnâ?, which reached # 2 on the UK singles chart. The debut album â??Expecting To Flyâ? was released in February 1996 , and went straight to # 1. â?¢ 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 â??The Early Garage Yearsâ?. The box also contains the 12 x 12 booklet from the original limited edition sleeve , as well as a note by 6Music DJ Steve Lamacq. â?¢ The three LPs are pressed on 180 gram blue vinyl. 3 LPs on 180g blue vinyl in inner sleeves in lift off lid box, with 12 x 12 booklet -
The hottest new band in Britain lands on American shores with their debut album. This group has the distinction of entering the British charts at #1, a feat not accomplished by a new artist in 10 years. Blending layered guitars and a sophisticated rhythmic approach with a pop songwriting sensibility, this London quartet stand poised to conquer the U.S. Tracks include the single/video "Slight Return," "Blue tonic" and "Vampire."
