Blur – 13 (2×Vinyl LP, Album, Reissue, 180 Gram, Gatefold, 2022, Food FOODLPX29, Parlophone 5099962483315)

Why This Record Matters
Released in 1999, 13 marked a bold turn for Blur, moving beyond Britpop into more experimental rock and electronic textures. Produced with William Orbit, the album shifts from the gospel warmth of “Tender” to the abrasive guitars of “Bugman” and the intimate resignation of “No Distance Left to Run.”

Collector Note
This UK 2022 reissue is a two-LP, 180-gram edition in a gatefold sleeve, with embossed “13” titles on the printed glossy inner sleeves. Its label and runout etching variations distinguish it from the 2012 reissue. The cover features Graham Coxon’s painting “Apprentice,” alongside Chladni-circle imagery credited to Hans Jenny.
