Blur's second album, a rebranding of the band's sound and image, was to provide the template for the forthcoming Britpop movement that would revitalize Britain in the mid-1990s.

 

Stylorouge, Blur's graphic designers, described the process of designing "Modern Life Is Rubbish" for the group: "Blur's second album arrived, replete with a parochial greetings card-style image — modes of transport were chosen as a way to illustrate the downfall of standards in Britain; a populist oil painting of the famous Mallard steam train was accompanied by 1950's 'Festival Of Britain' typography."

 

From Tuesday April 2014

UK ROYAL MAIL POSTAGE RATES HAVE CHANGED IN THE ANNUAL RISE,

SO CONSEQUENTLY SOME POSTAGE PRICES HAVE GONE UP

BUT NOT ALL OF THEM – SOME HAVE GONE DOWN!!

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

THOSE WHO HAVE BOUGHT OFF ME BEFORE KNOW THAT I DO NOT ADD ON ANY EXTRAS:

HOWEVER, DUE TO THE FACT I USE STRONG RECYCLED CARDBOARD & THAT LP WEIGHTS & COVERS

VARY CONSIDERABLY, IT IS RARE THAT ANY TWO PARCELS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME WEIGHT,

THEREFORE MY PRICES ARE BASED ON CAREFULLY AVERAGED PARCEL WEIGHTS

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM:

IF YOU BUY MORE THAN ONE ITEM EBAY WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATE THE POSTAGE SAVINGS FOR COMBINED PARCELS

PLEASE EMAIL TO LET ME KNOW AFTER AN ITEM HAS FINISHED

IF YOU ARE STILL PLANNING TO BID ON OTHER ITEMS -

THEN EMAIL AGAIN & LET ME KNOW

WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR YOUR INVOICE,

THANK YOU

 

PLEASE NOTE: I NEVER USE ‘MAILERS’:

I MAKE PARCELS STRONGLY USING RECYCLED CARDBOARD

IN ORDER TO GIVE MAXIMUM PROTECTION IN TRANSIT
