The period between 1991 and 2015 defines the most transformative era of Blur's career, evolving from their "baggy" beginnings into the pioneers of Britpop and eventually into experimental alternative rock icons. This legacy was celebrated in 2012 with the massive box set, which remains a definitive high-fidelity resource for audiophiles seeking remastered versions of their studio albums and rare unreleased tracks.
