Leisure

~ Release by Blur (see all versions of this release, 15 available)

Annotation

"Leisure" brings together all the b-sides from all original single formats which include little-heard Blur gems, alternative mixes, remixes, live tracks (including "Day Upon Day", which is the only recording of this Blur song ever made), plus a demo of "I Love Her" and the rare track "Close" which were previously available only as Blur Fan Club singles.

"Leisure" is housed in a deluxe lift-off lid box with four exclusive Blur artwork postcards and an expanded booklet that includes previously unseen photos and liner notes based on a brand new interview with all the band members.

FIXME: Possibly a "worldwide" release, i.e. Europe + North America.
