Blur may release limited edition 7" inch vinyl for comeback - Feb 2012

RUMOUR ALERT: A revealing post on Blur's official facebook page asked fans which rarity would they want for a rare 7" vinyl pressing.

This is very revealing as immediately, the conclusion would be that Blur are releasing a limited edition Record Store Day 7" to co-incide with the re-issue campaign! 


Another Britpop band Suede released a demo of The Drowners/To The Birds for Record Store Day last year in 2010, just before releasing their complete reissues, so it is DEFINITELY possible that Blur's going to do the same.


In 2010, Blur released Fool's Day, a rare one off track recorded for the special event. If they have done it once, they will do it again surely! 




It seems Blur's being very liberal and listening to what fans want, now that they've made their big comeback. 


It's an intriguing question they're asking us fans, so we suggest everyone head over to the page (click here) and comment!
