Blur to release 21-disc box set

Recently I informed you about the fact that frontman of Gorillaz and Blur Damon Albarn will probably be finished with both bands. Therefore, it is quite understandable that Blur is releasing something like this. Legendary brit-pop band will release 21-disc box set, which will include:

- two-disc special editions of all their seven studio albums
- four disc of rare tracks
- three DVDs
- 7" live recording of "Superman"
- book

There will be also released a special edition, which will contain seven albums on vinyl. Good thing also is that each disc will be sold separately.

The box set will come out on July 30. Band also made a trailer for the set, which you can watch below.
