Blur’s new track to be made available for free from midnight
As mentioned in an earlier blog post, Blur released a brand new track called “Fool’s Day” in support of Record Store Day today. 1000 copies of the song were pressed in single sided 7″ vinyl and sold out, unsurprisingly, very quickly. However, to combat the possibility of illegal sharing, the track will be released for free on the Blur website from midnight 18th April (the site says 17th, but being the pedant I am, 00:00 will technically be the 18th!) Here’s the blurb:
NEW SONG FROM BLUR – FOOL’S DAY
Blur’s new song Fool’s Day recorded especially for Record Store Day has sold out on limited edition 7 inch vinyl record. Fool’s Day was available across the UK at independent music retailers participating in Record Store Day. 1000 7 inch vinyl copies were pressed.
Blur’s manager Chris Morrison has said it is important that the song was made available to fans legally. “To avoid fans having to illegally obtain an inferior copy of this track from pirate sites – we have made it freely available through the band’s website”.
Fool’s Day is available from www.blur.co.uk at midnight this evening, Saturday April 17, 2010.
Recorded in London earlier this month, Fool’s Day is the first song 4 members of Blur have recorded together since Battery In Your Leg from the album Think Tank (2003).
Fill yer boots 🙂
