Blur
Parlklife (Zoetrope LP) RDS 2024
Release date/shipping:
Record Store Day 2024 will mark the 30th anniversary of the seminal blur album Parklife with a unique, limited edition zoetrope picture disc pressing of the era-defining record. The single-vinyl pressing is housed within a single sleeve featuring the iconic Parklife cover art, the animated zoetrope illustrating the classic blur iconography as never before.
Blur's third studio album, Parklife, was released to critical acclaim on 25 April 1994. It reached #1 on the UK Album Charts and garnered four hit singles: ‘Girls & Boys’, ‘End of a Century’, ‘Parklife’, and ‘To the End’. Parklife was nominated for the 1994 Mercury Music Prize, and in 1995, Blur took home four BRIT Awards, including Best British Album.
The landmark anniversary release comes following a year in which Blur stormed the charts once again with the acclaimed 2023 release of their #1 ninth studio album, The Ballad of Darren, and a triumphant live return that saw the band perform to over 150,000 fans across two transcendent Wembley Stadium shows last summer.
