Record Store Day - It's all a Blur

Tally Ho! felt smug in the knowledge that an early night on Friday, tucked up in bed with a cocoa and some episodes of Mad Men long before midnight crept upon us, would secure a copy of blur's coveted new single, Fool's Day. So imagine how our hearts wrenched when we turned the corner by the Truman Brewery and saw that at least 250 likeminded record geeks, some evidently nursing hangovers, had beaten us to it.

So we missed out on a slab of vinyl Blur, but the good people at Parlophone have made the song available for free download to make sure that the rest of you lazy folks don't miss out.

Its simple, just click on this link and follow the instructions.

Despite missing out on Blur we did manage to grab a one-in-a-hundred Nick Cave 12" with four different versions of classic track The Mercy Seat on white vinyl AND a limited edition Happy Birthday 7" single courtesy of the kind folks at Sub Pop.

Here's to next year!
