Expecting To Fly (25th Anniversary): Limited Blue Vinyl 3LP Box Set

The Bluetones, hailing from Heston in West London, burst onto the music scene in 1995 with their debut single “Are You Blue Or Are You Blind ”. Hits like “Bluetonic” and “Slight Return” followed, with “Slight Return” reaching #2 on the UK singles chart. Their debut album “Expecting To Fly” was released in February 1996 and went straight to #1. This limited 3LP blue vinyl box set is a must - have for fans. It includes the original 1996 album, a 12 - track LP of non - album A and B sides, and the pre - fame demos “The Early Garage Years”. Also inside the box are the 12 x 12 booklet from the original limited edition sleeve and a note by 6Music DJ Steve Lamacq.

To use this box set, simply take out the vinyl records carefully from the box. Place the record on your turntable and use a stylus to play it. Make sure your turntable is set up correctly and adjusted to the right speed (usually 33 1/3 RPM for LPs). When you're done listening, put the record back in its sleeve gently to avoid scratches. Keep the box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vinyl from warping and the booklet from fading. Handle the records with clean hands to avoid leaving fingerprints and dirt on them. The note by Steve Lamacq is a special keepsake, so keep it safe in the box.
