Title: Record Store UK. Who Can Help Me Out With The Blur Single?
Post by: Tom Scharpling on April 14, 2010, 06:00:46 PM

I need to get my hands on the Blur single which comes out for Record Store Day in the UK.

If anybody has any leads or gets a copy of it that they don't want, please let me know. I need to have one for a friend. It is Pretty Important. And I will, of course Pay.

Thank you.

Tom.

I will do my best but I will be a mere consumer, and as I'm sure you've read there are only going to be a 1,000 copies. One record store here has already stated that their 1 copy will be allocated to the winner of a Blur quiz so I fear it won't even be a case of first come, first served. It's all a little mysterious in terms of how and where this will be distributed, I will be at the biggest record store at the opening time and will let you know if I find out anything more before Saturday.

I got to Rough Trade East (probably the same store guidedbyboognish was at) at 8:40am and there were about 200 people in the queue ahead of me - that record was all sold out before the doors opened. Hope you managed to find one, if not, they've done the honorable thing and released the track for free online at www.blur.co.uk (http://www.blur.co.uk).
