Hailing from Heston in West London, The Bluetones (Scott Morriss - bass, Eds Chesters - drums, Adam Devlin - guitars, and Mark Morriss - vocals) arrived on the scene in 1995 with their debut single 'Are You Blue Or Are You Blind?'. They followed this up with 'Bluetonic' and then 'Slight Return', which reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart. The debut album 'Expecting to Fly' was released in February 1996, and went straight to #1. This 3 LP box set contains the original 1996 album, a 12-track LP of non-album A- and B-sides, as well as the collection of pre-fame demos 'The Early Garage Years'. The box also contains the 12 x 12 booklet from the original limited edition sleeve, as well as a note by 6Music DJ Steve Lamacq. The three LPs are pressed on 180 gram blue vinyl.
